Much of the beginning of this artcle duplicates the Free reed aerophone article. If there are no objections, I'll remove it. There's already a link.-- Theodore Kloba 14:31, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
"Manual" appears frequently in the article to refer to buttons. But the article linked to it ( Manual (music) refers only to keyboards. That article does not mention accordions. Even "manual" to refer to a keyboard will not be familiar to ordinary readers. Some searching of the internet has convinced me that experts on the accordion use "manual" routinely to refer to keys and to buttons, but this needs to be made consistent in Manual (music). I do not have the expertise to edit that article, such as in providing citations. Please help! Robert P. O'Shea ( talk) 10:34, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
A friend asked how many parts there were in my standard four-reed, 120-bass accordion. I told him there must be thousands, but that was the best I could guess. The numbers must vary widely between the many different acc. styles and sizes. However, I was genuinely (as opposed to facetiously) surprised this article's Construction section didn't have any details about it, considering that the parts in even a good-sized concertina must considerably outnumber those in any other handheld instrument not designed by Dr. Seuss—a distinction that would probably interest casual readers who, for one careless reason or another, happened to end up here. Anyone know more about this? (And how about that fourth sentence—epic, eh?) – AndyFielding ( talk) 08:50, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
The accordion music video (spirk.org) works visually but there is no sound. Robert Neustadter ( talk) 19:42, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
