The Button Box

The Button Box is perhaps the "grand-daddy" of concertina and other squeezebox instruments in North America. They've been around a very long time, and their reputation is excellent. They also now manufacture and sell their very own line of highly regarded and affordable concertinas. Years ago I purchased my very first concertina (a Lachenal) from Rich, Doug and the guys, and they didn't steer me wrong, and service and support have always been excellent and affordable. Don't pass them up in your search for anything concertina or squeezebox related! Here is what they have to say about themselves: The Button Box specializes in new, used and vintage concertinas and accordions and stocks a wide selection of CDs, videos and books. They are also the makers of the well-respected R. Morse & Co concertinas and organizers of the annual Northeast Squeeze-In event held each September in Western Massachusetts.
