I have one and it is good for the money. One place the quality shows is the intake valve. Mine leaks very badly but I expected that. I would like to replace it but it is glued in so tightly that it can't be removed for upgrade or maintenance.

Jonathan is a very nice man to do buisness with. I'm working on raising funds to order a bellows from him, and from another couple makers as well. His new design is lovely methinks, kind of the shape a bellows should be (in my mind). He's even ordered in a special leather for my bellows. His price is pretty great too!

Baglady, how old are your bellows from him? Are they his 'old' design?
