Accordion:
An accordion is hand-held musical instrument, consisting of bellows attached to two oblong frames, on which buttons and, in some types, pianolike keys are mounted. A person plays the accordion by drawing (stretching) and pushing (compressing) the bellows, causing air to pass over metal tabs called reeds. This airflow makes the reeds vibrate, which produces sounds. A player makes the various notes by depressing the buttons and keys. There are two main types of accordion: single-action accordions, on which each button produces two notes, one on the push and another on the draw; and double-action accordions, on which each key or button produces the same note on both the push and the draw.
The accordion was originally developed in Europe, but it's origins can be found in the Chinese musical instrument, the Cheung, introduced to Europe in 1777. |
