Actually both English and German have buttons on both sides. The difference is whether it plays a different note on draw vs. push or plays the same note.

I'll agree, but at the same time, http://vlasisku.lojban.org/xagri it is actually a reed instrument. Perhaps a lujvo is in order? I wouldn't fault anybody for calling it a xagri or a pipno, but maybe pipnyxagri/pi'orxagri/xagrypipno/xagrypi'o would be more appropriate? I'd say "pipnyxagri" is more appropriate for a concertina whereas "xagrypi'o"/"xagrypipno" is more like a reed organ.
