| | Chemnitzer Concertina |
 | | The concertina and "honky" polka music is a true marriage of music in polkas. | | | Their recordings, Concertina Encore, and Crazy Polkas, produced some of the cleanest recorded concertina work on record. | | | The first recording of either the concertina or accordion by a Polish artist is hard to trace as Columbia records did not begin a separate numbering system for their ethnic recordings series until 1908. |

| | The Maccann Duet Concertina: A Personal Guide and Reference Library |
| | Concertinas are small and light (but loud) bellows-powered free-reed acoustic musical instruments invented by the English physicist Sir Charles Wheatstone about 1830 as a high-tech innovation in musical-instrument design. | | | Maccann Duet concertinas combine many of the advantages from both of two earlier types (called “English concertinas” and “Anglo concertinas”) and can be played in the style of either of those as well as in many additional musical styles, either by ear or from music notation. | | | Despite the fact that the earliest “English” concertinas were intended to play only a single musical part, much like a violin, they were very popular in parlour ensembles and became something of a fashionable craze in the mid-1850s. |

| | The Classical Free-Reed, Inc, The Classical Concertina |
| | The concertina was, from the earliest years, considered a concert instrument, while the accordion was considered a folk instrument. | | | As the classical concertina declined in popularity among educated classical music circles, the accordion rose in popularity among the common uneducated masses. | | | Molique's music was not only extremely popular in the legitimate concert hall, but also in the salons where people of taste gathered to hear performances for small groups in elegantly appointed private rooms. |
