Accordions

An accordion is a box-shaped portable instrument. Also known as a squeezebox, it’s powered by the user expanding or compressing the bellows while pressing either the keys or the buttons (depending on the accordion). The bellows cause air to flow across metal reeds, which produce the distinct accordion sound.

The average accordion price ranges from a few hundred dollars for entry-level accordions to many thousands of dollars for a high-end, collector, and professional accordions.

Accordions are still made today. The popularity of the diatonic button accordion in folk music in particular has driven several brands, such as Hohner, to continue the manufacturing of accordions.

Though it looks intimidating, the accordion isn’t necessarily hard to play. In fact, many students can play a piece of music in their first lesson. However, as with any instrument, it takes years of practice to master the accordion.

A few of the different types of accordions include:

• Button accordions
• Piano accordions
• Unisonoric accordions
• Bisonoric accordions
• Chromatic accordions
• Diatonic accordions
• Digital accordions
• Concertinas

A mini accordion, as the name implies, is a small accordion! There are plenty of small accordions for sale that are actual accordions, but sometimes people use the phrase “mini accordion” when they’re talking about a concertina.
