I happen to run across this post I’m wondering if anyone knows where are you can get those I wonder if the button box or Greg J does it Stephen, you can get thumb straps from Wim Wakker, he lists them as spare parts at www.concertinaconnection.com/spares.htm , whether his standard straps are the nicely padded ones, or not, I cannot say but worth an ask. Certainly the straps shown in the photos of the Wakker English models on his website look like the padded variety .

I found that applying a little torque to the bellows as the first movement in a draw, similar to the motion you might make opening a book with both hands, helped my thumbs out a lot. If I drew the bellows in a linear fashion, then yeah, mine hurt as well. EDIT: Ha, sorry about the necro! Didn't realize it was that old.
