Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Robert Service : 'Accordion' poem
Anglo concertinas have hand straps or thumb screw holders; they are small and portable, not needing the harnesses of the cumbersome, large accordion.
For descriptions of very fine concertinas, see www.concertinas.ca.
These are instruments to prize.
