Concertina e Concertina is a type of small accordion with
a unique shape. It typically has buttons on both
sides. Each button produces one note, unlike the
accordion, which produces chords with a single
button. e Concertina was reportedly devel-
oped in England and Germany. Its compact size
makes it very mobile and visually entertaining.

Accordion
e Accordion, also known as a squeezebox,
originated in Austria in the nineteenth century
and is now a common folk instrument through-
out the world. e instrument consists of a
bellows that the player expands and contracts,
forcing air across a set of metal reeds to produce
sound. Notes on a keyboard trigger the various
reeds. In this library the Accordion uses the
bassoon switch (one reed in the chamber) for a
round warm sound.
