As I understand it, Bastari is the old brand name of what we now call Stagi. I think those are made in Italy-- I'm not sure exactly what "Anglo or German" means in this context.

 

An old German one in decent condition... from what I hear, most German-made concertinas were hardly in decent condition to begin with. =)

Does it have to be old? Schaumanufaktur/Silvetta makes them now (20 button only). I had one of their double-reeded G/D's for a while and was pretty happy with it.

Hi Michael

 

Stagi C-2 has 2 reeds per note, and the C-3 has 3.

In the US, the Button Box has it in stock in C/G or G/D. New.

I don't have such a concertina but somebody I know in my region who has a German double reeded 20B C/G, ´70-ish. One voice is the usual C/G pitch and the other is a full octave lower so you could even make a Bariton out of it.

 

It looks new and unused, but there is some work - mainly tuning and valves. He showed it to me lately, and he does not play himself. It will take a while before I see him but I could ask the owner if he wants to sell it (and how much he would ask for it).
