darticus Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Looking for a nice Stagi Hayden concertina used. Let me know if you have something nice. PM me if possible. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Ways Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Hello, If you are settled upon a Stagi, do consider getting it from Button Box as they fine tune it before sending selling. They have information about their "enhancement" process on their web site. You may want to just take a drive up there and try it out. It would make a nice (although somewhat long) day trip. When it comes to something like this, it may be worth it !! But call them to check out availability to make sure what you are interested in will be there when you arrive. http://www.buttonbox.com/ Edited August 16, 2016 by Noel Ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Colpitts Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I concurr with Noel, and have also PMd Ron. I still prefer the Elise, at way less than half the price, though. Regards, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darticus Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Many say that Elise is really the better buy. The 34 vs 46 is the thing. Maybe I should look at an Elise. Where is the best place for an Elise? Thanks Ron Edited August 16, 2016 by darticus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Scannell Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The folks at the ButtonBox are great. And they will give you a full purchase price refund when you are ready to move up to a Beaumont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The folks at the ButtonBox are great. And they will give you a full purchase price refund when you are ready to move up to a Beaumont. And if you buy from the Button Box then you could also trade up to a Peacock, or better, from the Concertina Connection. Wim at CC does not care where you bought your trade-in instrument. And, and you can rent an Elise from the Button Box to try it out. I think that they will give you an allowance for your rental fee if you later buy from them. And, and, and they probably know more than anyone about the good, the bad and the ugly of Stagis. Worth a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darticus Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Thanks all will check things out today What is a fair price for a used Stagi Hayden?. Thanks Ron Edited August 16, 2016 by darticus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defra Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Funnily enough, I am about to advertise a used Stagi Hayden (2012) which I acquired during a brief flirtation with the Hayden system before settling on the English. It is in tune, the bellows are sound and it is in good cosmetic condition, with just the odd scratch in the varnish. I had an accordion technician adjust a couple of reeds that are a bit slow to speak. One still is a bit slow and when I took it back to the technician he said it just needs to be played in a bit. I'm no expert on this issue and because of it I'm asking for €400 and am willing to split the shipping costs from France. Let me know by PM if you're interested, send me your email address and I'll send you some pictures. Thanks, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
