Subject: RE: How to repair an accordian
Mind whit ye say aboot cheap "boxes", Jock! It must be around twenty years back that I got a phone call one night from a pal [Stephen Quigg, in fact, now with Macalmans]who had discovered the "wreckage" of a Hohner Ariata in his loft in Ardrossan. "D'ye want it?"---"Oh aye!" Stephen fetched it over to Irvine, three pieces--base section, bellows and keyboard. Half an hour later I was playing it---and it is now here in Canada with me and STILL playing, albeit a wee bit flat on some keys! [Ahem---I gave Stephen a fiver later----]
