The concertina is a musical instrument that has an enlarged bellows that contracts and expands. There are two main types of concertinas: English and German. These instruments are very similar, but have different styles of reeds. The English style has a reedpan on one end and a bellows on the other. The buttons on the English concertina are square and are similar to those of the melodeon. The difference between the two is in the sound produced.
A popular instrument
The concertina first gained popularity in the nineteenth century in England and Germany. It was first used in the Salvation Army and later introduced to Argentina. By the mid-19th century, the popularity of the instrument increased as emigrants from Germany brought them to North America. In the 1960s, the folk revival movement helped revitalize the concertina’s popularity. Today, it is a popular instrument for classical and Irish music. Tango is another popular genre featuring the orchestral version of the instrument.

The late 19th century saw a moderate revival in the instrument. It was popular in the folk revival movements of the 1960s.
