I have a nice instrument I got about 10 years ago, and I play out at Pennsic which is a large SCA event close by my home. This year after a few minutes play, the wheel started to slip on the crank.
I think it may have been environmental at first, because this year was incredibly humid. But even now I am at home, after a few minutes the crank will turn but the wheel slips.
Does anyone have a recommendation? I can ship anywhere but if there's a maker nearer to Pittsburgh I would be interested in seeing if Ican schedule some repair work.
thanks,
andrew
