Bellows kits - who's offering them?

Hi All,

I am considering getting a replacement bellows kit for a Lachenal 20B Anglo. Who is offering them these days? I think Mark Adey is still on sabbatical.
Cheers

'Sandylaneman' is still advertising bellows kits on eBay.

He is, only he's in Co. Kerry, Ireland, so malcolmbebb will end up liable to pay UK VAT on importing them, as I do (in Ireland) on anything that I buy from the UK.

 

"The benefits of Brexit" - ho-hum! 🙄

Mark supplied me with some parts recently and I know someone who's restoring an instrument with a set of Mark's bellows so I wouldn't give up on him.  Try a direct contact rather than rely on the rumours spread here

I recently purchased some bellows from Peter O'Connor (Sandylaneman). They arrived within a short time and with all the proper paperwork but no charge for taxes have been levied (yet!). I have purchased several sets from him over the last few years and they have all been worth the money.

Hi Malcolm. It was myself Alex referred to. Mark of Concertina Spares sent me a set a few months back and they are fine. Plus nicely skived leather end bands and much else besides for a complete rebuild. Price was also good.
