I didn't want to post this as FS because I would like others to pitch in with advice if they have any.
I have a Banba bag and bellows from 2013 that are currently in somewhat of a state of disrepair, and I was curious if anyone experienced with pipes would be interested in them for repair purposes. The bag leaks as much as the tiniest pin hole would allow, though I'm not sure the source of the leak. The bellows on the other hand are very leaky as the glue holding the leather to the paddle has come undone. As you can see in the last photo, I tried to seal this leak with a little bit of epoxy, mostly unsuccessfully. My apologies to the patron saint of piping for attempting such a desperate hack job.

I would definitely not expect much compensation beyond shipping for these items.
Or should I just scrap the stuff and salvage the raw materials for other purposes?
Not on offer as "discount" practice set gear.
Any suggestions or input appreciated.
Cheers

Hey there friend, I would be interested to know what it would cost to ship these to 12460 N.Y.. I could rebuild the bellows and be well on my way. I do leather work so it should not be such a task. Thanks, EZ

Re: Bag and bellows repair or salvage
Looks like a relatively new bag. Try filling it with water. Should be pretty simple to find that leak. Go from there.
