The accordion is a bellows-driven free-reed instrument played by compressing and expanding the bellows while pressing keys or buttons on both sides. It is a uniquely self-contained instrument, capable of producing melody, harmony, and bass simultaneously. The accordion is central to a remarkably diverse range of musical traditions, from French musette to tango, zydeco, polka, and folk music worldwide.

History

The accordion was patented in 1829 by Cyrill Demian in Vienna, though similar free-reed instruments existed earlier in various forms. It spread rapidly across Europe and the Americas in the 19th century, becoming a folk music staple in virtually every country it reached. The piano accordion (with a piano-style keyboard) became dominant in the Americas, while button accordions remained popular across Europe.

Characteristics

The accordion produces sound when air from the bellows flows over metal reeds, with different reeds sounding on the push and pull of the bellows. The right hand plays melody on a piano keyboard or button board, while the left hand operates bass buttons that play single notes and preset chords. Registers (switches) change the combination of reed sets used, altering the timbre from bright to mellow.

Notable Players

Astor Piazzolla revolutionized tango music with his bandoneon (a type of concertina related to the accordion), blending it with jazz and classical elements. Clifton Chenier was the "King of Zydeco," whose piano accordion playing defined the genre in Louisiana. "Weird Al" Yankovic, a trained accordionist, has kept the instrument visible in popular culture through his comedic performances.

Buying Guide

A 48-bass or 72-bass piano accordion is a good starting size that's manageable in weight while offering enough range for most music. Weight is a major consideration; full-size 120-bass accordions can weigh 25 pounds or more, which is fatiguing for extended play. Reputable brands include Hohner, Roland (digital accordions), and Weltmeister, with the used market offering excellent value on quality Italian-made instruments.

Fun Facts

The accordion was once so popular in America that more accordions were sold in the U.S. in the 1950s than guitars. The world's largest accordion, built in Italy, weighs over 500 pounds and stands over 6 feet tall.
