Bellows Makers

Post by Seamie »

Hi All,
Besides Mike Dow up in Maine, anyone care to weight in on makers of high quality UP bellows?
I have one of Andreas Rogge's- excellent but looking for something with a bit more capacity.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Many thanks,
Shameless

Louis Ó Coileáin also makes great bellows. The set I have is fab. I know others who use them as well.

You can purchase them via the NPU shop or directly from Louis. Great customer service as well.
