On further examination, I suspect there are two more screws hidden under the reed blocks. Should I try to proceed further, or am I getting out of my depth?

John visits this forum...i would wait till you talk to him or another builder...i doubt if he would mind if you emailed or called him.

Thanks Chad,

Is he at the same e-mail adress? How about his 'phone number?

If you can't figure it out take it to a reputable melodian repair person near you. If it is just a repair that person should be able to do it without changing the nature of the box. Russ

Hi BJ
I have sent you an e-mail concerning your broken spring. Will wait for your e-mail reply.

Thanks to all for your help and advice. It's great to know John Roger is back among us, and, re. the post about favorite less well known brands, you'll have to go a long way to beat one of John's 'Cajun' brand boxes.
