Sorry, pressed bouton too soon.
Meant to say, this'll be chromatic - you'll be able to play in any key & the basses'll give adequate chord accompaniment.
Also, an 8 bass means it'll be the size & weight of a small melodeon.
I'm a melodeon player [among other insts] & find there's very few who play these & sing - prob too much brain power needed, also you're restricted to what keys you can play in.
An anglo concertina is diatonic & is set up in much the same way as a 2 row melodeon
An english concertina is also chromatic but although smaller & lighter cost a lot more than an accordeon.
Hope this helps
