jennbrooks Accordian-ish Instrument ?? (21) RE: Accordian-ish Instrument ?? 10 Oct 10


Thank you, all, for the advice and references. I joined the "Melodeon.com) website and downloaded a chart of my keys (since with it's help, I could figure that out) and yes, thank you, tunes have now been coaxed out of it. The reeds seem to be in good shape. Does anyone know of someone reasonably near Albuquerque who could repair some of the wood for me and incidentally, I would like to know of someone who could repair a very old Lachenal concertina, too, since I seem to be on a roll with these bellows instruments. And here's a smile--I told my sister (who gave it to me) that somebody suggested I trade it in for a banjo and guess what? She has a banjo in her garage that she meant to give me, as well. Guess I'll have to go visit her again. I think she should look up whoever is playing old time music there in Henderson, NC. She's a flautist and a better musician than I'll ever be. She's always been able to get a tune out of any instrument, and I think she could have a good time instead of passing all this stuff along to me, what do you think?

Thank you again for your help.
