Can Anyone Tell Me About This Concertina?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if any of you could tell me about his Stagi, and if it is worth 150 dollars for a beginner?

If you really want a concertina and cannot pay more than USD 150, this box is an option.

I guess you can't get them cheaper.

That was my first concertina. I think I paid about 100 for it. Now it's really quite terrible compared to anything else slightly more expensive, but:

 

1) It was good enough for me to figure out several tunes and songs

2) It was good enough to let me figure that I liked playing the concertina

 

So yeah, go for it. But also bear in mind that it won't last long. I still have mine for nostalgia purposes, but many of the buttons stick, and if it gets hot at all, some of the wax holding the reeds in may melt.

Here's a picture of the concertina with the bellows apart...

Please note that it does not come with the karate bandana.
