Basic Structure of an Accordion

Hi, my name is Paul Becker and I'm here to talk to you about accordions today on behalf of Expert Village. Here we have a very typical accordion this is a accordion from the golden period of accordions 1950s. Lawrence Wilk and all of that this is a bell accordion and really the according is 2 instruments joined by a bellow. So this side we have a treble keyboard we would play this later and this side we have the bass part of the accordion that plays the accompaniment and these 2 parts of the accordion supplied by air by a bellow. So this you can really think about 3 instruments the bellow and 2 machines.
