Stagi 18 Mini- English Key And Note Chart

[Delbert Blackketter]

All,

 

I have been wrestling with the Stagi A-18 miniature English concertina, so I produced this chart ( in the attached file ) for myself. Feel free to use that which is good, and to obliterate freely that which is otherwise.

 

This file presents four (4) elements of information concerning the notes and buttons on the A-18:

 

a. An overlay of the notes on the 48 button English, with that subset of notes/buttons which are on the A-18 being highlighted for reference. (inspired by Pauline De Snoo's charts in her texts)

 

b. Two graphical images depicting the concertina ends - shamelessly purloined from Don Nichols pages (Many thanks to Don!)

 

c. A table laying out the notes and buttons in horizontal, note-sequential rows. Each button is numbered to reflect its placement, and the buttons are stepped to reflect left--right alignment.

 

d. A table of sorts laying out each available note from lowest to highest. Again, borrowed from Pauline's materials and her charts.

 

If you are a fan of the Stagi A-18, then you MUST navigate to Henk van Aalten's link, and go to Henrik Mueller playing tunes on the EC Stagi mini. Outstanding and inspiring!

 

Cheers,

 

Del
