| Access All Areas Squeezebox Maintenance Day! - Cheriton Bishop Village Hall Organised by Devon Squeezebox Foundation. Tutors: Rees Wesson, Dave Byett and Colin Dipper. It’s going to be a practical day, with both talks on different aspects of squeezebox maintenance and repair by these excellent box makers/repairers and the opportunity of getting inside that “project” squeezebox you bought, thinking “I could do that up…” We will be advising which tools will be needed nearer the time. We shall be covering Concertinas, Piano Accordions and Melodeons, but if you have something else in mind eg a Bandoneon, just ask, we can probably deal with that too! Places limited, strictly first come, first served. Cost: £30. To book: email Ed Rennie at email. More information about Devon Squeezebox Foundation> |
