That sounds like a very typical "Organetto", a traditional style in Italy.

Thanks, stephen for the elucidation.

I wasn't sure if I should call it a melodion or button accordion. I acquired it before I found myself intoxicated by the concertina, and at this point I can't do both.

 

For anyone interested I will try to put a photo.

 

Thanks
