Paddy Smith Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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 Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Paddy I have just done some repairs on a Bastari so assuming its the same here is waht to do. Remove the 6 end screws completely. The entire end should now come away from the bellows as a unit, metal end plate and wooden rim. Turn that so you are looking at it from the reedblock side and you should see two small woodscrews. remove these and the metal end lifts off to reveal the action. There is a very useful page here Here which explains how to deal with the problem you seem to be experiencing with the buttons. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Smith Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 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! Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
