For Whom
          The Hayden Duet concertina is a wonderful versatile instrument, relatively easy to learn
          and perfect for all kinds of music.  Because of its small size it is very portable, and blends
          perfectly with other instruments. 

          The Elise has been developed for first time players.  It is the perfect instrument for anyone
          interested in trying out the Hayden Duet concertina without having to invest a large amount
          of money to purchase that first instrument.

          Although the instrument is perfectly capable of meeting the requirements of intermediate
          players, we understand that many players might want to upgrade to a higher priced instrument
          later on.
          Because of this, all the Hayden specific features, such as key board slant, spacing of the keys,
          hand rail/keyboard distance, etc. are identical to higher priced Hayden concertinas, to assure
          a smooth transition later on.     

   

          The Elise has a traditional riveted action. The action makes the instrument 'feel' much like
          a high priced instrument.

   

        Specifications: 

• Elise keyboard layout       

• 7 fold bellows

• Hayden specified keyboard slant and spacing.

• Accordion type steel reeds.

• Soft bag.

 

          Tutor
          The instrument comes with an easy to understand tutor, especially written for this
          instrument. It will teach the basics of playing concertina and music notation, rhythm, music
          theory, etc.. The tutor is suitable for both self study and for use in formal lessons (e.g. music
          schools, private instruction, etc.).
