Though the accordion and concertina might look similar at first glance, they have many differences. The accordion is a large, robust instrument known for its iconic look and versatile sound. It features a piano-style keyboard on one side and buttons on the other, played by squeezing and expanding the bellows. The concertina is a small, portable instrument with a unique charm, easily recognized by its hexagonal or octagonal shape. Unlike the accordion, concertinas come in different systems like English, Anglo, and Duet, each offering distinct layouts and sounds. It produces music by pressing buttons on both ends, which activate reeds to create specific pitches. |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOhD-VGIt_8 Wow, Jethro Tull’s live performance of ‘Skating Away’ from Sight And Sound in 1977 is incredible! The energy and musicianship are top-notch, and Ian Anderson's flute work really shines. Such a classic moment in live music history!

It's fascinating how Chopin's Prélude Op. 28, No. 4 resonates with such depth and emotion. The piece's connection to Chopin's own funeral and its evocative title, potentially linked to "What tears from the depths of the damp monastery?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W03Plgbo28&t=6s |

Marc Savoy's journey with the accordion is truly inspiring. His deep love for the instrument and dedication to Cajun music has had a lasting impact on the culture. It's amazing to see how one person's passion can lead to a revival and keep traditions alive for generations to enjoy. : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENNOV2VDgJo&t=2s |

Bella Ciao is a widely loved and simple tune to learn on the piano accordion. With just 3 bass chords and 7 treble notes, you can master it in a day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS6nxZlmB8U |
