How many parts in an English concertina?

I was chatting to a friend over the weekend about instruments, and I confidently stated that an English concertina is made up of over 1000 individual parts (at the opposite end of the spectrum is my Angus fife, which is made of precisely 2 parts).

But I started to doubt that figure.

So I did a search, found this post on Cnet by Geoffrey Crabb, and actually I was wrong.

Geoff reckons it's more like 2,200 ...
