Rhomylly Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi all -- I'm arranging for delivery of an interim upgrade between my Hohner and the very, very nice concertina I'm saving up for by getting one of Bob Tedrow's 2-year-old turbo Stagi's, 30 key. This is a biiig jump from 20 key to 30 key for me. I've ordered the Levy book/CD's, but in the meantime, does anyone have a quick reference to a Stagi fingering chart I could print out? Has this been discussed before? I would also like to say, as reference, that the last time I adopted a *dog* (a year ago) I didn't have to do this much prep... Thanks!

Henk van Aalten Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Rhomylly, On the website of Jürgen Suttner you will find fingering charts of a G/C concertina: Wheatstone layout (PDF file) Jeffries layout (PDF file) So make your choice a have a lot of fun with your new concertina!

Rhomylly Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 thanks, Henk! so does Stagi follow Wheatstone or Jeffries system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk van Aalten Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 so does Stagi follow Wheatstone or Jeffries system? As far as I know the Jeffries lay-out is much more popular than the Wheatstone. So I guess your Stagi has the Jeffries lay-out. As your Bob Tedrow is involved in your Stagi, he could tell you exactly about the lay-out. Henk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomylly Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 (smacks self in forehead) good thinking, Henk! I shall do that immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_mchale Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Well I have one of the turbo stagis.... and it has a Wheastone layout. Not sure if that is normal or if it just represents some of them. I am getting use to it pretty fast. -- Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I don't have a turbo, but my regular Stagi is Wheatstone fingering. I would think the turbo would be the same. Helen Just speculating here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I'm not sure, but I would suspect that you could and can order either the Wheatstone or Jeffries layout as a standard option... and even minor custom variations without significant additional cost. Maybe one of the dealers could tell us for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomylly Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Well, I emailed the source of the turbo Stagi in question (Bob Tedrow) and have been assured that it does, in fact, have the Wheatstone fingering. Since I dream of owning a Wheatstone someday, this is serendipity! Thanks again, Henk, for the good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam B Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 You should check out Mark Staytons very helpful fingering chart, right here on Concertina.net http://www.concertina.net/ms_finger_layouts.html Even if your layout is a little different, you can make the small corrections. I found the charts very helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomylly Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 oooo I will print that out and take it home for pre-concertina-arrival study! Thanks Pam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
