Cheap Melodeon System Concertina On Ebay

[MatthewVanitas]

Was just browsing and ran across this, a "Woodstock" brand cheapie with three buttons on one side and seven on the other. Probably a melodeon in a concertina body (the three buttons being bass-chord-air)? It's only $50, thought someone here might enjoy a novelty:

If anyone's seeking a fixer-upper for a student/beater, there's also a metal-ended Bastari 30b Anglo up with no bids, $125, closing in a day.

Those Woodstock instruments were sold as toys. I own one, and it looks much better than it plays.

 

That Bastari has been listed and re-listed a few times with no bids. It sounds like the bellows are disintegrating, It's possible to get a Bastari/Stagi in much better condition for not that much more money. I wouldn't recommend this one.
