Accordion

The Accordion, which is sometimes referred to as a squeezebox, is a box-shaped musical instrument which belongs to the aerophone family. Accordion is played by compressing or expanding the bellows while pressing the valves or pallets. The compression allows the air to flow across the brass or steel which is called reeds. After that, vibration will occur which will produce sound inside the body of the instrument.
