Hi guys had an rather interesting plink on darrens mates melodeons,understandably people don't want their pride and joy disassembled to take a peek at the reeds lol
I have liliputs and a club II and both have two bass reeds per note octave apart and
I'm assuming that is the standard configuration ?
finding suitable small size reeds for my altered bass on the liliput was relatively easy from the donor vintage PA I have ,darren had a complete wreck a vintage italian PA that had some huge reeds in comparison and just happened to have the notes and size i was after for the club II
So are the bass reeds in all the hohner club boxes (excluding the mini like the liliput)all the same size,and are they unusually large compared to say modern italian boxes? its very hard to gauge the omph without a direct comparison and irritatinly didn't take my club II melodeon ,also had a few glasses of prosecco definitely has a detrimental effect on ones fingering and possibly hearing as well lol
I'm really asking as my sitting down playing is coming along really well ,so i'm looking at 2-1/2 row standard size boxes
I really like the big low end ,but there is limited opportunities to compare different instruments
many thanks
