I think Skip is playing a diatonic button accordion or melodeon. Which is a type of button accordion where the melody-side keyboard is limited to the notes of diatonic scales in a small number of keys (sometimes only one). The bass side usually contains the principal chords of the instrument's key and the root notes of those chords. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_button_accordion
