Oberon Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 It's hard to tell what the exact dimensions are and what the pressure weight is on it, but maybe reach out to concertinaconnection.com They sell spare springs, though mostly for their own models and who knows if they'll be strong enough for your instrument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I managed to make my own spring using fine piano wire and a very primitive set up to bend into shape the wire itself.( Wooden block with tack in it to bend the wire) and fine pliers to cut and bend the wire. I also kept the original wire as a guide for size. If you only need one or two this is what I did..and my one replacement spring works fine ever since ( on my own Hohner branded Anglo ( from the 1990s). It can be fiddly getting spring correct tension and placing it back on again..but it does work.🌝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Pearce Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Willie, it would help to know where you are based, and the length of the spring, as they come is different sizes. I assume the spring in the photo only has the end missing which goes into the action board? If not you will need to confirm its length Can you take a photo with the spring alongside a rule. I have a number of spares and can supply a few alternatives to get you back up and running if you are in the UK. No charge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 It's not difficult to make a spring. You just need some piano wire of the same gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
