The concertina is a free-reed musical instrument that originated in England and Germany and is used for classical music in Ireland, England and South Africa as well as for tango and polka music. It is a wooden instrument that is played by expanding and contracting it using buttons or keys and, unlike the accordion, is generally smaller with fewer reeds. One of the most famous concertina players is Noel Hill, who was born in County Clare, Ireland and is known for songs like "The Humours of Castlefin."
