Melodeon repair resources in Greece?
« on: May 19, 2019, 05:50:37 PM »

Hello Melnet,
I'm relocating temporally to Stefanovikeo GR. I'm seeking information for tuning, and repair resources in Greece. My apologizes in advance if this post does not belong under Design, construction, and repair. Thank you for your assistance. 
Regards, Cam

Can't help, I'm afraid, Baz;  I could probably find a repairer here, though I do all my own repairs & restoration and odd jobs for the few other melodeon players  I know here (currently two besides me!), but it's a 600-mile flight from Larnaca to Athens.  We're a long way east, tucked right in the NE corner of the Med. Our house is east of Cairo.....

Greece & Cyprus are a bit like the UK & America - divided by a common language!

No worries. I'll post if a shop is discovered. I may be forced to learn to tune aka screw up my reeds. : ).

Larissa is your nearest town, you might find someone there. Do remember the effects of too much heat on reed wax, and keep your box out of the sun.
I put Larissa into Google Maps, and clicked "nearby" and asked for music stores. About 8 came up, but obviously you would need more detailed info, but it's a starting point.
