Takayuki YAGI Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Just noticed this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175318556708 If you zoom in on the third and the fourth photo, can you see the independent pad through the gap in the fretwork ? This looks somewhat like Ken's Bastari. What do you experts think ? Edited June 15, 2022 by Takayuki YAGI typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 It does look like a match in every detail I can see. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Same here; its like my one too, which I am still using after 23 years!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Thank you both for the comments. Then how many of these particular Bastaris are known to exist? At least I know, Ken and Simon have one each, Stephen Chambers has one(Wizard anglo), I have one, and eBay one.

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I well imagine there will be in incalculable number made, then as now, as long as they are wanted. Mine has brown coloured bellows, and when new.. had Hohner name on it. Strange fact is my one may also have become part of the Stagi empire; as I was once sent free bag of spare buttons which had Stagi name on as well!

Takayuki YAGI Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Thanks Simon, I am talking about Bastaris with this kind of internal structure (independent rivet action and pads). Does your Hohner have such an internal structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 No, my one has different layout for action; they are all aligned together [so as to speak]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 The winning bid price was USD96. If anyone on this forum won the bid, I would appreciate it if you would share pictures of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splunk Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 No problem, hope this helps you. 36x stamped on the frames with no other markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Yup, an assembly number. IIRC mine is 52X. You even have some pads thinner than others, like mine. A few buttons missing? Or just fell off, maybe? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splunk Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Fell off, the rubber button rings pictured are the only survivors. In Takayuki's image the lever's look quite tight but here there's a significant amount of side to side play, so much that is uses the bushing board to keep some pads off the frame and centered.

Takayuki YAGI Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Thank you both. Mine is 13X IIRC. I have asked Concertineitalia (current makes of Bastari) about historical information about these but unfortunately have not received an answer.

Splunk Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 While I'm going through it, I thought it was interesting to see all the actions use a 'G' shape post mount screwed into the base, where the flared rivet acts like a floating axle. I could realign & tighten up the side play in most of the actions by snugging down the loose screws under them. I'd always assumed a normal action was hammered into the base after riveting, or part of a carrier assembly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Poor devil [that concertina] I thought my own one had various internal adjustments I made but ..oh dear! Best of luck with it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an answer from that company. But they did not possess historical documents and remained uncertain about the history of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
