Hi Pat. Welcome! In the early 80’s, I use to have a practice set of yours I got from Armin Barnett, fiddler with the Hurricane Ridgerunners. He said he got it from you. It came with an old bellows that was made by Rousome (with that spelling). The bellows sat around for years and I recently traded it to Benedict Koehler for some reeds. The bellows may have ended up with Kevin Rowsome’s Willy set, not positive.

Do you remember if Armin got the bellows from you?

Hi Pat

I didn’t have any trouble with the booklet download.

Thanks

Reedman, I’ve got Microsoft Word installed on my computer and it pulled up the document perfectly.
Check your settings and have .doc files associated with your word processor.

Welcome Pat! How are tricks?

That bellows sounds like it would be a Willie Rousome… he spelt his name that way occassionally. Some of Benedicts reeds is definitely a good trade!

Yes, it was stamped “W Rousome” on the face of one of the boards. I talked to Kevin Rowsome about it and he said the name was spelled like that for a time–he wasn’t sure how it came to be, or why.

Welcome, Pat. You’re a gentleman, and I hope you’ll stick around and contribute to the discussions on what is normally a very welcoming community, in spite of a few inevitable spats which just seem to come with the web forum territory.

I checked the links on my website and the all seem to be working.
