   Well @AccordionBruce, as an expert on accordions do you believe the origin of the instrument to be German or Russian?

   And for anyone who wants to know my research enlightened me with this:

   ‘There are two different kinds of accordions used in German Folk Music. They include the Steirisches Accordion and Schwyzerogeli Accordion. The Steirisches Accordion has three or more buttons on the right side.’

     There’s theories I’d like to follow. I don’t have the languages to do it justice really

     There were some organ makers from Germany Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein (1723– 1795) and Wolfgang von Kempelen (1734–1804)

     Working in Saint Petersburg, who were I guess shelling out for musicians, like they were in Austria

     They made some key developments that all Western free reeds followed

     So that’s pretty important

     Histories seem to have diverged in different counties, especially after the Russian Revolution

     “Eastern” accordions and “Western” ones split further on several separate branches of various types of instruments

     It gets quite lively to try to sort out

     There’s #accordion history theories I’d like to research further

     East Asian free reeds were brought to Europe in the 16-1700s. They’d been evolving (still are) in Asia for thousands of years

     Europeans made reed organs in the 1700s and an explosion of harmonicas, and accordion/concertina relations in the 1820s or so

     Maybe there were precedents in Russia? There’s other innovations

     But Cyril Demian patented the first instrument Called an #accordion in Vienna in 1829

     @AccordionBruce

     I saw this reference to Buschmann’s Handäoline’ in Berlin, Germany and then came Cyril Demian’ accordion.

     It is for sure interesting to find out about the history of it. 😊
