Well little Pan was sent off to Bonhams yesterday. Unfortunately, he still wasn’t quite finished. Previous restoration work rendered the bellows ineffective when the mechanism is placed in the case. I raised the mechanism up a bit by adding little leather washers. Pressure from the lid on the mechanism now makes Pan run slow. I plan to resolve this issue, if given more time. Here is a video of how he sounds when not in the case, paired with video of him performing in the case. I look forward to our next encounter.
So proud of you. This is awesome work.
Thank you Mom x
