As per the Google Blog, “Due to the accordion’s widespread appeal among European folk musicians, German accordion manufacturers boosted their output during the late 1800s.” The buttons on the single-sided accordions of the past produced the sound of a whole chord. The ability of the same button to produce two chords—one when the bellows were expanding and another when they were contracting—is another amazing feature.”
“As Europeans spread over the globe, the accordion’s musical applications increased. Both buttons and a piano-style keyboard can be used to play modern versions; some even offer both. Occasionally, they integrate electronic components to enable them to be connected to an amplifier or produce artificially produced sounds. The instrument is still used today in a variety of genres, including cajun music, tango, Latino polka, and folk music! Oktoberfest is one occasion where the accordion is a constant. The blog went on to say, “This exciting event has music, funfair games and traditional attire like dirndls and lederhosen.
