On an instrument designed in the 1830's, and probably made around or over a century ago, things will go wrong, but when it happens it’s very rarely the trauma that it appears. After all there are no LED’s to flash, batteries to go flat and the only chipset is the set of scratches & chip in the polish!

What can happen

Sudden faults like: a pad adrift, a reed snagging, a broken key or spring

Accidental damage, dropping or beer spillage; or major failure like the bellows splitting
