The Button Box specializes in concertinas and accordions. Our new accordion lines include Castagnari, Saltarelle, and Hohner; our new concertina lines include Stagi, Concertina Connection, and the Morse brand which we make here in our workshop. We also sell used and restored vintage accordions (many brands) and concertinas (most typically Wheatstone, Lachenal, and Jeffries). We offer expert tuning and repair service for all concertinas and button accordions. Augmenting our instrument sales is our selection of concertina and accordion books, recordings, and accessories. We are the organizers of the annual Northeast Squeeze-In and Northeast Concertina Workshop events.
The Button Box now carries the 3 CD set English International
- the second in a series of albums featuring superb concertina playing.
This compilation shows the range of styles possible on the instrument
and mirrors a time-line of the instrument’s history from some of the
earliest known recordings of all-time great English concertina players,
through classical, Music Hall and Vaudeville, Concertina Bands, and
right up to the modern day performers who have largely come through the
folk music revival of the second half of the 20th century. Buy English International & Anglo International together and get a 10% discount. See our Music CDs page.
