I have a question about trouble-shooting on my English concertina. I have a 48 key 1870 Wheatstone that is a wonderful instrument. I had it completely overhauled a year and a half ago and it was working great. Lately, however, my low D is not making a tone on the pull, but I am getting a tone on the push.

I am not familiar with the inner workings of the instrument, though I did take one of the ends off to have a peek.

Any guidance out there (and it would be great to hear from you, Dick Miles) would be greatly appreciated. If this subject has been dealt with here on the Mudcat, please point me to the thread or anpther resource so that I can try to solve this.

Happy New Year,
Debra Cowan
