Whoopee! I just took delivery of my new Saltarelle Boube Re-Sol melodeon. A new big
brother for my six concertinas.
After getting it out of the packaging, followed by putting it on upside down(*),
I actually got some semblance of a tune out of the beast (Back to The Army Again,
Kipling), I now have a couple of idiot questions (Yers, I have looked at the helpful
notes on the home page, and I have taken my watch off...):
If I elect to go with only one strap, should this be the one for the right shoulder
or the left shoulder? I'm guessing that it should be the right. I have seen somewhere
a detailed description, with pictures, of how to set the straps up, but now cannot
find it. Can anyone point me to the URL?
The bellows are 'stiff' (understandably). Should I spend a minute or so each day
simply working them to 'run them in'? Should I be careful not to over-extend the
bellows till they are a little 'looser'?
Ta.
Roger
