Trinity College AP-20 Diatonic 20-button Anglo Concertina
Trinity College Concertinas offer all the features and craftsmanship of the classic turn-of-the-century instruments but at moderate cost. These instruments are light weight, portable, easy to learn and fun to play. Trinity College Anglo Collection Concertinas feature a diatonic button system, which works much as a harmonica does. Each button produces two different pitches, one on the blow another on the draw. Though they can be played in other keys, they are mostly played in C or G. Harmony may be obtained by pushing more than one button at a time.
Product Features
- 20 buttons, 2 1/2 octave range, air release button to close instrument noiselessly

Just as the first reviewer said, the moment I took it out of the box, a button stuck and cannot be reset. (Okay… as English concertinas go, you get what you pay for. I get that. But…
Good for the money but may need to return at least once… Considering there is literally no availability for buying a 30 key Anglo concertina for less than a grand outside of this one it is a good buy. I have ordered a replacement for it twice. The first one I received the fifth button on the “accidental” row of the left side did not play at all pulling or pushing. The second one had a bad key on the right side C row 5th key that played B when pulled but nothing when pushed. I am hoping the third version of this I get will be right. They…
