Construction
Accordions are made in a large number of different configurations and types. What may be technically possible to do with one accordion could be impossible with another:
- Some accordions are bisonoric, meaning they produce different pitches depending on the direction of bellows movement
- Others are unisonoric and produce the same pitch regardless of the direction of bellows movement
- Some accordions use a chromatic buttonboard for the right-hand manual
- Others use a diatonic buttonboard for the right-hand manual
- Yet others use a piano-style musical keyboard for the right-hand manual
- Some accordions are capable of playing in registers different from others
- Additionally, different accordion craftsmen and technicians may tune the same registers in a slightly different manner, essentially "personalizing" the end result, such as an organ technician might voice a particular instrument
