Peter Smith Posted December 11, 2025 Posted December 11, 2025 (edited) I'm selling my 46-button Hayden Concertina, as I have just purchased an upgrade. The concertina is badged 'Gremlin' and was made by Stagi. The concertina is in good condition. All buttons play and it looks good cosmetically, as I hope the pictures show. The bellows are airtight. The picture of the bellows shows a small mark on the corner - a small historical bump (not me!), which doesn't affect the playing. I have added new adjustable handstraps as the ones that came with the concertina were worn, when I bought it. The 46-button Hayden concertina comes with a protective soft case. (Also on Ebay with extra pictures & a video). I'm looking for £750 + postage but am open to offers. Happy to post to the UK or abroad (but prefer the UK).

Steve Morrison Posted December 11, 2025 Posted December 11, 2025 Hi Peter, I would still like to buy the Stagi. Could you give me a call maybe tomorrow to discuss. Steve
TBONE Posted December 27, 2025 Posted December 27, 2025 (edited) I just brought the same concertina without bellow straps for 200 € in perfect condition + bag did i do well Edited December 27, 2025 by TBONE
Peter Smith Posted December 27, 2025 Author Posted December 27, 2025 Sounds a good price. The Stagi Hayden you have, is a recently made concertina. I have seen some questions about how good they are, compared with the older Stagi, I was selling. I would be interested to find out what it is like to play. Peter
Tiposx Posted December 27, 2025 Posted December 27, 2025 The button positions are very different in the photos, between the old and the new. As described by the knowlegeable of the forum previously. Even I can see it!

There’s also bolts attaching the ends to the bellows on @TBONE’s. On @Peter Smith’s (and all the others I have ever seen) the ends are attached to the bellows by pins through the outward-facing faces of the ends (you can see their little round heads in Peter’s last pic, which I reproduce here:
DaveRo Posted December 28, 2025 Posted December 28, 2025 I posted pictures and measurements of the one I bought in 2021 here: https://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?/topic/23226-stagi-hayden-duet-concertina/#comment-212202 One obvious difference is that @TBONE 's instrument has the handrest parallel to a flat edge.
