Hi, I just now joined this group. My Mazurka arrived on Friday morning at 10 a.m. I immediately unpacked "her" and got right down to the assembly. Yikes. I...
Hi, It's me again, the newbie. I was pedaling away, happily convinced that the issue with the sluggish treadle was due to an insufficient amount of oil on the...
Speaking as one who has a Mazurka which was essentially brand new when I got it.... First lesson...relax. Seriously. Deep breath and shake yourself loose....
Pamela, I wish I had you with me when I was putting the Mazurka together, not only for your expertise but also for your wisdom and caution to relax. I am...
I have both a Mazurka and a Symphony - treadling should not be so stiff that you break a leather. (I understand leather shoelaces sold for work boots will...
Hi, Caroline, I am using Double Drive. I tightened the leather tight as instructed in the DVD. I noticed that it has stretched, as Tim said in the video that I...
Hi, Thanks for posting the link to the spinning song. It was beautiful. Eileen Here in southern Maine with my little flock of little sheep. And where I am...

Hi all - I've had my Symphony for a bit over 2 years. Besides oiling, is there any other regular maintenance I should be doing? It is getting pretty cranky...
Untie the leathers at the base of the footmen, rub them all over with a candle for that center couple of inches where they go through wood, then retie them as...
I don't know about Symphony's but my Mistral needs to have the parts by the wheel adjust because they slip a bit once in a while. I check to make sure the...
