The Button Box specializes in concertinas and accordions. Our new accordion lines include Castagnari, Saltarelle, and Hohner; our new concertina lines include Stagi, Concertina Connection, and the Morse brand which we make here in our workshop. We also sell used and restored vintage accordions (many brands) and concertinas (most typically Wheatstone, Lachenal, and Jeffries). We offer expert tuning and repair service for all concertinas and button accordions. Augmenting our instrument sales is our selection of concertina and accordion books, recordings, and accessories. We are the organizers of the annual Northeast Concertina Workshop.
As you may know, the Northeast Squeeze-In (affectionately and conveniently known as NESI) has undergone a bit of an organizational facelift. The festival IS going to happen, there WILL be a website, and if you go you WILL have an amazing time (just like last year, and the year before that, and...), HOWEVER, give the organizers a few more weeks to get their act together.
They'll send an e-mail to all previous attendees when all the particulars are duct taped down. If you're new to NESI and want to be on the mailing list, visit the new Squeeze-In website. They're meeting with Bucksteep Manor to finalize plans in early April - and after that you'll know what they know. So mark your calendar in pen (or mark your i-phone in bold) for October 15, 16, and 17, 2010. For the rest, they'll get the information to you as soon as they have it.
The Button Box now carries the Elise Hayden Duet concertina, made by the Concertina Connection. The Elise is geared toward first time players and is the perfect instrument for anyone interested in trying out the Hayden Duet concertina without having to invest a large amount of money. See our Other Concertinas page for more details and to place an order.
