Summary[edit]
| Description |
Piano accordion (c.1885), France - MIM PHX Piano accordion[1] France, c. 1880 Accordion with piano-like keyboards first appeared about 1815 ? in France. Accordions
A popular instrument in a variety of musical genres, the accordion with originally developed in Europe in the early nineteenth century. Like the harmonica, the accordion is a free reed instrument. A sound in produced when air generated from bellows causes internal metal reeds to vibrate. In most accordions, the bellows connect two keyboards--one for each hand. Typically, the keyboard controlled by the right hand has either buttons or piano-like keys. The accordion can play both melody and chords, making it an ideal instrument to accompany singers or other instrumentalists. This versatile instrument is heard in folk music and also in pieces for the concert hall. Accordions are manufactured in many locations, but Castelfidardo, Italy, is often considered the accordion capital of the worlds. We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour. I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible. The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014. |
