Bill N Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I bought this a few years ago to try to learn the English system (I'm a "by ear" Anglo player) and I'm finally willing to admit that it ain't going to happen. Time to pass it along: Stagi 18 button English concertina in excellent condition, with a very nice hard case. $325 plus postage. Diagram below shows the buttons highlighted within the keyboard of a standard 48 button instrument. THIS INSTRUMENT IS NOW SOLD. A donation has been made to Concertina Net. minienglish.pdf Edited December 8, 2020 by Bill N added picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim2010 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Could you please describe the keyboard/notes. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill N Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I've added a JPEG of the button layout in the original post in case there are difficulties downloading the PDF. It shows the 18 button keyboard as it sits within the standard 48 button layout. The instrument has 2 leather loops at each end- one for the thumb as is usual for an English, but also one for the pinkie, rather than having it rest on a curved metal stop. I lent this to a friend to learn on while she waited for me to restore a 48 button instrument for her, and it was an easy transition for her from the 18 button to the 48.

semaj1950 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi Bill. I think I sent you a PM. I think. Please let me know if you got it. I’m interested in the little ’tina. Best wishes, Jim Robertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
