Jon C. Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi, I am constructing a tuning bellow. I have made the bellow, but still have to make the top and bottom. Do I need to put a valve in, or will it just vent through the reed? Thanks, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Crossland Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 A valve will make the venting a lot quicker and easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon C. Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 A valve will make the venting a lot quicker and easier! Where should it be located? I would think it would be on the bottom, but it would have gravity working against it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would be on the bottom, but it would have gravity working against it.. I wouldn't think it would have to be a long tongue. I was thinking of a valve fastened on the side rather than the end..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Müller Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 A valve will make the venting a lot quicker and easier! That's the trouble with today's thinking - everything has been so darned fast /Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
