THE LONE RANGER ON THE ACCORDION; UNBELIEVABLE.

What is an accordion instrument?
A musical instrument that consists of two bowlike boards connected by a folding bellows. The player hangs the instrument around his neck. The board near his right hand is fitted with a keyboard like that of a piano, on which he plays melody notes; the board near his left hand has buttons for playing chords and bass notes. Inside the boards are pairs of flat, flexible tongues, called reeds. Each reed vibrates and sounds a single tone whose pitch depends on the reed's length and thickness. Opening and closing the bellows creates a flow of air that makes the reeds vibrate and therefore produce a sound. One of each pair of reeds sounds when the bellows are pushed together, and the other sounds when they are drawn apart. The keys and buttons open valves to admit air to the desired pairs of reeds. In some accordions the two reeds of a pair are tuned to sound adjacent tones of the chromatic scale (C and C-sharp, for example), so that one note sounds when the bellows are pushced and a different onw when they are pulled. In most modern accordions, however, the two reeds of pair are tuned to the same tone.




I played the accordion during my school time. I enjoyed playing. Sometime when i am free i still played it.
