Harmonium organ - How to repair bellows - Réparer des soufflets

A short video explaining one method to repair harmonium bellows. This only for instruments that don't need a deeper rebuilding ! Check the bellows before ... A french traduction will take place on http://harmonium.le-blog.info

Une petite vidéo expliquant, dans un anglais approximatif, comment réparer des soufflets d'harmonium. Ceci ne concerne que des soufflets moyennement endommagés; souvent une reconstruction complète s'impose. Cette technique a néanmoins l'avantage de proposer un 'rustinage' très solide de l'instrument, et ne nécessitant pas de démontage. Ceci s'entend bien sûr si le reste du soufflet est irréprochable !

Le déroulement de cette vidéo sera traduit en français d'ici sur http://harmonium.le-blog.info

Thanks for this interesting offerng, However, a word of warning: I have restored a number of reed organs over the years, and I would advise anyone who sees this video that it gives only a slight impression of what is needed and makes it look much easier than it is in reality.

Like the music.

[Belgologies]

Yes ! That's what I meant with 'synthetic' textile. In fact, it's rubber, like the textile used in artificial lakes :)

You're welcome. See you ;p

A very short one; in the real ligµfe, it takes a half hour if you have all the stuff needed. And it's a fast version : you can of course work more nicely.
