Hi Reyah,  The problem is easier to solve than your tech realizes.  In
a few words, 'extend the span of the bellows by attaching an extension'.

I know that sounds a little like double-talk but I've drawn a simple
diagram that explains it all (one picture/thousand words).  The diagram
is at:  http://www.player-care.com/gifs/extend.gif

Musically,
