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.
