My box is definitely type B. Orange paint job with tiger stripes.

Um, VJJB, better post a picture of what you've got. If the left side is chords, it's not an anglo. Does it look like this or this B

Thanks for the web sites. I am looking at them. I would like to play blues, Zydego, and polkas. If I can play "Happy Birthday" by April I will be a happy camper. Good thing I am retired now. Not enough time in the day.

I thank the responders to my plea for help. I ordered "The absolute beginners concertina." Should come within a week. My instrument does look like a China made model. If it lasts long enough to survive while I beat up on it during my initial self taught lessons, I will be happy. I can pick out a simple tune with the right hand buttons. My harmonica playing is a help. The left hand buttons seem to be cords. Don't know what to do with them yet.

My wife gave me a 20 button "Ceili Band" concertina for Christmas. I don't read music. I would like to learn to play it. I know I am talking to confident expert players here, but think back to the days when you first picked up the the instrument. How do I get started? Are there videos or instruction books for the rank beginner? I am not hopeless in music. I self taught myself the harmonica. I await any guidance you may have.
