Thank you for this very useful tutorial. I’m going to try both whitetail and bull elk. Do you recommend velveting at all?

Thanks so much for posting this tape. Joe was my first accordion teacher in the mid 50s, and I still have my bright red Petosa from way back then that my parents scrimped and saved to buy for me. Unfortunately, I was a typical kid and lost interest by the time I was in high school. I played occasionally for my kids, but never seriously. I’m now 79 and one of my daughters twisted my arm to get the old accordion out and play a little for the grandkids. As I was playing Bella Mia I started wondering if Joe ever recorded it so I could hear how it was supposed to sound like, and lo and behold I found your KZbin post. I’ll never play it like he did, but it’s sure fun to listen to and remember the accordion band we had back at Whitaker Elementary school in Portland. Thanks again for the memories!

Wow, didn't think it was this easy to replace the wheel of a suitcase! Going to follow this for a couple of my suitcases, instead of spending hours on finding a shop and waiting for it get repaired, here in Australia. Thank you for the video!

Thx a million. We are doing our first sink install for our DIY kitchen remodel and this is such a tremendous help. Thank you so much. Bless you.

great presentation

The profile menu on your phone. Are you connecting to the older amp or the Spark2? The only thing I can think is to check to make sure the firmware for your amp and controller are up to date and that your app is the latest version. Otherwise you may need to contact Positive Grid. There are a couple of Spark owners on Facebook that I follow and you might want to check them out. They are very helpful. facebook.com/groups/218558279487723/posts/1034014511275425/# Also the Tech Support Booth for Spark owners facebook.com/groups/spark.amp.owners.club/

Thanks so much Steven. I am going to follow your example and do the same. My Delsey brand has the exact same type of wheels as your Timberland. Great job and thanks so much for a well made video.

your door is beautiful

Too bad we don't see what he's sawing exactly

Just bought the controler and when I follow your instructions the controller does not show up on the app at all. How do you pair the controller with the app?

You have got to be kidding me. I've had my Samsonite spinner since 2014 and I never noticed the zipper in the lining. I'll be ordering replacement wheels this weekend as opposed to going to a luggage repair shop. Great video and I can't thank you enough.

Great video and I agree with others here. Older Roland Micro cubes are a real pain taking apart. That foam around top of chassis is like glue! I ended up taking out grill and speaker to prod, lever and pry chassis out. One thing that baffles me. Part number you gave is for Roland MONO 1/4" 3 pin PCB jack, when you pulled out a Roland 4-pin STEREO 1/4 jack? Did they have same part number? I got a 3 pin one based with that part number. Bit confused.

Helpful tip: Using a flathead screwdriver, put the hook end of the tremolo string into the block. Put the flathead through the loop end and put the tip of the screwdriver onto the post and move the screwdriver so the spring falls onto the post.

IF it would be possible to use amp and footswitch after installing en setting it once and then turn off the phone it would be great and usable for me but it seems that's not.. phone app neefs to be on all the time? Bummer!

Thank you! The exact same thing happened to 2 wheels on my Samsonite suitcase when we went to Argentina last week! Great video!!

Im watching this in prep to replace my wheels and I realise we both have timberland suitcases. But I have One of if not the largest ones they make. I haven’t measured just yet but I wonder if Im gonna struggle. They look the same as yours aesthetically but the suitcase is much larger. I imagine the wheels may be too

lol I watched this 11 years ago… been living my life by it. God bless you, brother!

Just make sure you buy the right one…….. unless you need the left one!

Sounds great using both methods and easy to set up.

Two of the fasteners on each wheel of my roller bag are rivets and two are screws. Sad news for me because drilling out a smooth rivet is a real pain.

Thanks for the tip about grain alcohol, cheap vodka is way easier to obtain. Nice video!

Don't put the springs in a V shape! Put them straight..

I was wondering (considering purchase) if you connect the footswitch via bluetooth, does the spark app and amp still allow you to have music on the music channel via bluetooth?

That's the wrong speed. That's waaaayy too fast to drill a stainless steel

" output" jack.

Great

Great video...THANK YOU!

ended up sounding dope!

Literally just came back from Japan with a disintegrated wheel and came across this video.

But this technique only strops on side of the blades, isn't that true? Don't get me wrong...I'll try this technique for sure!

Hey I didn’t see how old their video is , so just a recommendation, check out videos about drawing the bow , you are doing it with your shoulder, and you mentioned that you already have a problem, you supposed to use your back muscles, nice shooting.

Sing me a song Brah ! 🎵

Thank you!

noise canceling pickups dont need any shielding the come with a coil stacked under the pickup coil

best way to eliminate noise is to add a coil there are 2 companies that make them works beautifully no change to tone and absolutly no noise

lsoplugin pickups known for causing noise and oxidizing over time time dependent on weather

LOLLMAO SHIELDNG FROM MY EXPERIMENTS AND MANY OTHER INFLUENCERS IVE SEEN HAVE SAME CONCLUSION SHIELDING OVER RATED WASTE OF TIME MAKES VERY LITTLE IF ANY DIFF AT ALL ONLY WHEN SOMEONE FAKES THE RESULT TO NOT BE PROVEN WRONG LOLLMAO

I couple of other tips- add a tablespoon of water, a little vanilla extract, plus a tablespoon of dry sherry to bottle with that oak spiral and bourbon snobs will swear it’s expensive bourbon. It even works with cheap Canadian whiskey.

Ha, Japan destroyed my suitcase wheels too

4:47 - For me, it's... not... sliding... out!!

Hey Steve (Or any Cube owners in KZbin land), I've got the Standard cube street (wedge version, not the Micro, but essentially the same thing)) with the same broken input jack. *Wondering if the third solder (upper) pin is just for mounting purposes to the board? I was thinking to just replace the jack with a 1/4" guitar jack (has only pos/neg) .... Would that work do you think? What is the third pin for??? Please let me know your thoughts since you've gone through this procedure... Thanks kindly!

Good to see that one can buy wheels that match. Was fighting my wheels which roll okay but swivel poorly-making the thing roll to one side. I’ll probably replace with generic swivel wheels with bearings and expect to do it again in a year or five. Addendum: I switched the wheels under the handle with the opposite wheels and pull by the handle only. That kicks the can down the road about four to six years.

Hi how you connected your camera with the sound you are making Thank you

So ironic my one wheel disintegrated like that in japan too 😂

Haw can I change the preset hardware sound? I wanna a metal preset on the 1 switch, is it possible?

Thanks! Hope these work for my Travelpro Maxlite 2 - wheels look identical and I've been through finding access before - FYI everyone, Travelpro was not helpful at all - now if the size works .....🤞

You have a pricing for a set of pickups ? Or a loaded guard ?

❤

The volume potentiometer of mine is out, I unscrewed the right screws but was afraid to rip the woofer cables and didn't know how to proceed to open the cube. Thanks a lot !!

Looks awful, the thing sits way too far down the guitar (takes up too much space) and this is yet another so called "Whammy Bar" that only goes in one direction and that's down 😂This and The Les Trem (and The Guyker copy) should be called "String Slackeners" because they have no travel upwards.Generally tremolos that only have one spring, will only pitch down, so for GFS to call this a "Vibrato" is misleading when it only pitches down. It's cheap for a reason!
