Thanks Theo! I suspected that was teh answer but didn't want to find out the hard way that I was wrong ;-)
Now to remember where I put the rubber tubbing!

After several years of being concertinaless, I just picked up an old metal ended Italian labeled "Regoletta" but substansially a Stagi/Bastari type instrument. Like any of these, it has some problems with sticking buttons. I pulled the screws, but can't get anything to move. I'm sure there is a "trick" to getting the cover plate off without trashing it. Can anyone give me some direction?
Thanks

Thanks to everyone!
Bob initially - your too modest
That guy who looks like my son for finding the link &
The other guy for suggesting it go up here!
I'm one of those no$ players. I have invested big bucks in instruments I can play but prefer to get an affordable instrument into the best possible shape before missing a mortgage payment or 3 ;-) Bob's info looks like it will do it
BTW - this is the first concertina I've actually had to put out $ for - I usually trade services or car parts so you can imagine what I've had in the past (read other Bastardi/Stagi products) This one seems pretty good although I wish my friends with Lachenels would need a transmission or rear end
Obviously I haven't been able to check the posts recently or I'd have responded sooner :-)
Thanks again to all
Paddy
