"Concertina" is a small, hand-held musical instrument created by Charles Wheatstone in 1855-1860. It's made of wood and features a bellows system that pushes air through reeds to create sound. The concertina is known for its portability and unique sound, and this particular example is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Wheatstone, a British inventor and scientist, made significant contributions to the development of musical instruments. He is best known for his invention of the concertina, which is a type of free-reed instrument that is played by pressing buttons to create sound. This concertina is a testament to his pioneering work in the field of musical technology.
