The new anglos made by the Button Box sound and feel very quick and nice and are a good value. Check the price on their website. The question is though, what kind of music do you want to play? There are several kinds of concertina and they each have their up and down sides. I play contra dance music and love the Anglo for it's bouncy rhythmic brightness. Trad Irish players only play Anglo. If you want to play chamber music though, you would really need an English concertina. Check out concertina.net for more info.
