I play the button box accordion.If you play the harmonica ,you should be able to play the button box for the action is quite simalar.I also tried to play the english concertina but I found it to be beyond me . Three days ago I bought an anglo and already I am able to play a dozen songs The English has its advantages for it has cromatic capablities .,but I dont think that would be a factor in the music that you intend to play.I would suggest the Anglo and play it like the harmonica
