Rick Austin Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I've only been reading this forum for a few weeks and I must say you folks are a friendly lot. Gives me a dose of hope for humans to see them so helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdormire Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 And I started with less, and found something a little bit better, and now have this nice Tedrow in the picture. You never know when you may luck onto something better. As to being a nice group, I think that is generally true of any group who share a common passion.

sarahforgot Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 I thought my Hohner bellows were kinda hard to push and pull as well when I got it a couple weeks ago. I dont know if I'd just getting use to it or if it's loosening up, but it dosnet seem so hard any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3838 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi. I'm a newbie & Rochelle user; please would like to make a question to another Rochelle users: It's me, or the bellows is a little hard to push / pull? Regards Since I was adviced in private message not to advice people while I don't know much, here is my advice. From a newbe to a newbe. Stiff bellows on cheap instruments can be stretched. It's either play the damn thing for a month, giving up in two days, or just hold on the ends, depress all the buttons and pull apart, untill you hear some creaking. It's the glue! Hold it at this point for several seconds and relax. Repeat a few times and the bellows will be considerably loser. It will not ruin your instrument, as owners of expencive antiques will try to persuade you. It will ruin "their" instruments, not yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efectively, I opened at maximum the bellows with the air button depressed, then released it and let the bellows totally opened during several seconds. Then, pressing again the air and close totally. Repeated several times, heared some interesting cracks in the folds - glue, I supose! - and now the bellows is much more loose and I can concentrate more on the notes I play than in the "@#$%&!! effort to pull / push the bellows. Well, first of, I supose, many problems I´ll have with this little noisy box fixed. Thanks again, indeed! All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite unsettled with the well wishing suggestion to shut up. Shutting up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
