Button accordion

<p> A button accordion is a type of <a href="/facts/Accordion/h22CqQVA">accordion</a> on which the <a href="/facts/Melody/5TR3IE3Y">melody</a>-side keyboard consists of a series of <a href="/facts/Push-button/ezRenR1v">buttons</a>. This differs from the <a href="/facts/Piano_accordion/aqYaSrua">piano accordion</a>, which has piano-style keys. Erich von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs categorize it as a free reed <a href="/facts/Aerophone/QxwSHTyM">aerophone</a> in their <a href="/facts/Musical_instrument_classification/6N8wbB67">classification of instruments</a>, published in 1914. The sound from the instrument is produced by the vibration of air in reeds. Button accordions of various types are particularly common in European countries and countries where European people settled. The button accordion is often confused with the <a href="/facts/Concertina/G61saEVo">concertina</a>; the button accordion's buttons are on the front of the instrument, where as the concertina's are on the sides and pushed in parallel with the bellows.
