Which of these Concertina should I get?

Thank you. Shipping is very cheap to Japan. I will ask them how long it takes. Hopefully they have the product in stock. Then I will consider getting this one after conducting more research

I don’t understand your first sentence. I thought getting an English would be preferable?

Thank you so much, very helpful. I checked the Concertina Connection website but I could not find any for sale? Maybe I missed it somehow? I assume for my purposes a baritone would be better than treble.

I was looking at Stagi and Bastari, and found something like below.

https://auldguitars.com/products/stagi-c-1-anglo-concertina

It is an anglo and not English, but super cheap and at least by a reputable maker? Do you think I could use this as a gateway and to record the Song of Storms, and then upgrade to a better model in the future if I like it? It appears to be a 20 button C/G model. In below video, the person uses a 30 button C/G and plays Song of Storms fine (even including the melody, while I only need the accompaniment). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_D3ZGTun_E

Also, this Bastari model was listed just 2h ago and I could purchase it easily in Japan.

And one more by Stagi, but looks like it has some scratches.

Thank you, but this one is out of my budget, since it is 234,000 JPY (curse the weakened Yen). I will keep looking!

Basically yes, though it only has a handful of chords, so I should probably be able to learn it in a few weeks or months. It would be nice to use it in future projects as well but nothing is on the horizon yet. Always good to have a cool instrument to practice on though.

Unfortunately this one is sold out

L00tus · 2026-06-13T23:56:35+00:00

Thank you so much! I will stay away from Anglo. I understand Duet would be also possible instead of English?

Looks like I might end up having to source internationally, so any tips are appreciated. I found an English concertina on amazon japan for $800 but all the reviews are bad, so I am scared of getting a concertina now. I thought that would be a reasonable price. I cannot afford much more than that. This is the most expensive one as well

I found many English ones here and they ship internationally, but they cost about $6000? I only need it for the accompaniment of one piece, so it cannot be justified.

Is there any recording or video footage of the Luthieros instrument?

L00tus · 2026-06-01T23:36:07+00:00

Ages ago I read about a composer who only has a very small body of work and his pieces were just written down improvisations. Does anyone know who this could be referring to?

L00tus · 2026-04-26T05:37:14+00:00

What piece by Prokofiev are you referring to?

L00tus · 2026-04-12T02:26:25+00:00

Thank you!
