Tug Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I have seen a Stagi model O2 (Organetto) advertised on several web sites but never seen one. Has anyone ever played one of these? I know it isn't technically a concertina but there is a wide range of experience represented here. It seems a more compact alternative to a hohner HA-114 10 button accordian.

Richard Morse Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 That Stagi may be more compact and somewhat lighter than a Hohner 114 but not not a lot more. The Stagi is also is a considerably softer/quieter sounding box with stiffer and less precise action. They sound very different too as the Stagi has 2 sets of reeds giving a dry (ish!) octave sound while the Hohner has 4 sets of reeds (much more acurately tuned to pitch) that are independently selectable to be on/off to give many sound combinations - including the same set as Stagi has. OTOH, the Stagi has a IV bass/chord while the Hohner has only I, V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
