I have a brand new red Anglo 30 button concertina that has never been played. It was originally purchased from Smythe's Accordion Center in Oakland, CA for $350.00 back in February of 2008 (I have the original receipt). Comes with soft case. Selling this because I can only practice on instrument at a time! Asking $300. Please respond to this thread if you are interested. -Sean

On the receipt, it states "English Concertina" - maybe he made a mistake! How can I be sure? Thanks, -Sean An ANGLO concertina has buttons in rows. Typically 2 or 3 per side, with generally 5 buttons per row. They also have a wide palm rest with a strap the width of that rest. ENGLISH concertinas have buttons in 4 columns per side, and only a short thumb strap and metal finger rest on each side. Finally, when you press a button and open the bellows, then push the bellows together, while holding the same button, if you get the same tone it's ENGLISH. If different, it's ANGLO. There are other complecations in identification, but in your case, the pics are an ANGLO. Cheers, Jim Thanks very much for the description. This is definitely an ANGLO concertina -Sean
