How Many Buttons Does an Anglo Concertina Have?
A standard Anglo concertina has 30 buttons, allowing for a wide range of notes and flexible fingering patterns. This layout provides everything you need to play reels, jigs, hornpipes, and other traditional Irish tunes with ease.
There are also 20-button Anglo concertinas, which feature two diatonic rows (usually in C and G). These are a popular option for those looking for a beginner concertina —affordable, easy to learn on, and ideal for mastering the basics before moving on to more complex instruments. If you’re just starting out, a 20-button model can be a great introduction to the world of Irish traditional music.
