Anglo-Style 20-Button Hexagonal Concertina - A 20-button Anglo-style hexagonal concertina, featuring ends with a light wood-grain effect laminate and black-lacquered chamfered edges. The instrument is configured with twenty white buttons, ten per side, and a single thumb-operated air release lever on the right-hand side. The sound-holes are arranged in a circular pierced pattern with a white fabric mesh backing. The six-fold bellows are made from green material, reinforced with nickel-plated metal corner pieces and decorated with floral-patterned tape. It is fitted with adjustable brown leather hand straps secured by metal rivets. This instrument is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century European production, appearing to be in the style of models produced by East German manufacturers such as Scholer or Bandmaster.
