Concertinas are:

• Bellows-driven, free reed squeezebox with buttons
• Related to accordion but no chord buttons - both hands play melody and make their own chords; button travel is in direction of bellows travel.
• Many shapes, sizes, tuning systems.
• We have 2 catalogs:
  • Anglo (push-pull) &
  • English (same note either way)
    
• Very detailed advice on which concertina to choose can be found in the buyer's guide and owner's manual, the "Pretty Complete Guide to Squeezeboxes."
• Concertina Accessories and Parts
• 90-day warranty on all new Italian made concertinas
