My concertina doesn't have E or G strings and I'm not playing

It could get very messy if you don't.
That's a purist approach. While it would be nice to have a notation

Well of course you need to specify the tuning for tablature.
Obviously.
The only interesting question is how much
of this, if any, should be encoded in the ABC.
None at all, because ABC is not tablature. The recipient could be playing
