    Thanks for the info Daren. 3D printed concertinas are a rarity, but it seems 3D printed melodicas are ahead of the game.

    Apologies, Mr Jay calls his instrument an Accordina.

    Not to change subjects here but today I see there are two Hammond melodicas on ShopGoodwill. Good bidding!!

    Sorry for the late reply. My Clavietta leaks as much air as I put into it. Yours?

    Congrats on the new Clavietta. I recently scored one on ShopGoodwill that needs some work.

    I have not purchased any of the books you will see on the link below, but I have the page bookmarked in case I decide to. Peruse the titles, maybe one will be just what you need.

    Earwigs are also a sign of healthy ground. Not in your melodica either, I hope!

    Of course you’re correct, Melodica-Me, The springs made on the jig I posted are used to raise the button after it has been depressed. One end of the spring is ‘stuck’ in the wood of what I think is called the action plate, which is where all the rods that are connected to buttons are anchored. The other spring end (the end with the horseshoe bent into it) is placed under the rod, keeping the button in place.

    I hope that’s clear.

    This video shows making springs for an entirely different instrument (a concertina), but no expenditure required.
