I'm interested in learning to play some zydeco music on my Stagi C3 (diatonic anglo concertina). This appears to for the most part be for our larger brethren the accordion. Does anyone know of any easy zydeco music in the keys of D or G? If so, can one play it on the concertina?

Thank you! Good to know about taking it apart. Where would you get cigarette papers? How much? What if you're a minor?

Still haven't taken it apart yet, have recently found alternative key. Unfortunately, it is a pull note. I tried your suggestion a little, but no dice. In fact, could overtaxing it maybe have caused the problem in the first place? I had been learning "Amazing Grace" at the time. It uses a lot of push notes, so I have to expand the bellows quite a bit to get enough air. I know this is totally off the subject, but how do you get profile pictures into this website? It was telling me that my file size was too large or something.

OK, so maybe I can get it apart, how do I get it back together again? Anything can be taken apart, any suggestions for what to look for if I go in there and how to get it back together? Thank you for all the suggestions so far; this is a very friendly forum.

Thanks, Goeff, I always need to seek professional help. Get a check up... from the neck up! Anyhow, what would you recommend for getting the pins out? I've seen special tools for sale, but what do you think?

Hi, I'm fairly new here, anyone help a newb? I have a 20-button Stagi C3 anglo, D/G tuning, and I was playing it a few days ago when all of a sudden one of the keys made a squeak instead of the planned F#. It almost appears that it might be an F# one octave higher, but that's not very helpful. I could take it apart and look at the reed, but this particular concertina it appears difficult to get apart. The ends seem whole except for pins on the side, which might be the bellow pins. Does anyone know how to get something like this apart? Does anyone know what the problem might be that all of the sudden out of the blue it changes notes on me? Any help would be welcome. Thanks.
