fitting weltmeister 86w bellows on hohner erica/pokerwork
« on: April 04, 2017, 10:44:25 AM »

Would bellows from a weltmeister 86w fit a Hohner Erica? Anybody got any experience doing that?

Greetings,

I think the bellows dimensions are close enough, but you would have to take the wooden end frames off the Hohner bellows and glue them onto the Welty bellows.

Theo is quite right (as usual). They do go and look fine on a pokerwork/erica, but you do have to swap the wooden frames over. I've done this at least once in the past. I'll have photos somewhere, when I'm on my home PC I'll try and dig them out
