About AccordionLearn More

Accordion is a thumb wind instrument with movable diagonal surface on both sides and lantern body. This instrument was invented in Europe in the early 19th century and is commonly used in European, North American, South American and Russian folk music. Accordion instruments, like pianos, belong to the category of keyboard instruments. This instrument has three main parts: keyboards, lanterns and buttons, which are also called "bass" buttons because the chords and bass parts of a song are played by these buttons. On the keys and basses of the instrument, there are buttons, each of which changes the type of sound of the instrument, and they are called "change the sound" or "register". The accordion instrument is made in two types: "Diatonic" and "Chromatic". The chromatic type of this instrument is actually the keyboard type, but the diatonic type contains all the buttons. Currently, the chromatic accordion is more common and the general public also remembers and knows the chromatic form of this instrument.
