| | Accordion History |
 | | The accordion we now use is actually by origin and definition a "melodeon" because a pull out of the bellows gives a different note than a push in on the same button. | | | The accordion players had themselves "seconded" (backed) by a triangle (tit fer - "little iron") player, because the Cajun fiddlers, proud guardians of a long tradition, mostly refused to accompany the melodeon on account of their inability to harmonise with the first models in F. The arrival of the MONARCH in D solved the problem. | | | The accordion (the word melodeon for our part is now considered obsolete), harmonica and concertina were invented in Europe in the early 1800's and were not well developed until about the mid 1800's. |

| | Basic Information |
| | In practice, any 2 or 3 row diatonic button-key accordion can be called a melodeon without causing confusion. | | | If the reasoning behind all of the above is clear to you, and seems convincing, remember also that all melodeons and most button accordions play different notes on the push and the pull, so that the bellows direction changes affect the rhythmic dynamics of the playing too, which in turn affect the style. | | | Accordion is the generic name for the family of bellows driven free reed instruments having chords as well as melody notes. |

| | The Piano Accordion first appeared about a hundred years ago and initially they were like a melodeon with a piano keyboard, and a limited number of basses. | | | The Piano type tends to suit beginners who can already read music or play the piano, as the instrument is very logically laid out, and of course has a familiar keyboard. | | | The size of the instrument is usually denoted by the number of basses. |

| | A section of music encyclopedia |
| | Because the accordion produces the same note whether you push or pull the bellows, getting up a snappy rhythm is more difficult than with a melodeon, which yields a bass chord rhythm as the bellows are moved in and out because a different note is produced on the push and on the pull. | | | The accordion has a chromatic piano-like keyboard, although you’ll occasionally see true accordions with buttons (not to be confused with the melodeon). | | | All accordions and melodeons have lefthand buttons for playing bass chords. |

| | The Flanagan Brothers |
| | But I'm certain that the father of the Flanagan boys didn't play his "single row accordion or melodeon" (page 2) in such a manner. | | | But as good a melodeon player as Joe Flanagan was, and he was seldom short of excellent, his 1929 electrical remake of Kimmel's acoustic International Echoes of 1918, reveals that his technique falls quite a bit short of that heard on the original. | | | I disagree entirely that Joe Flanagan helped to "create" that distinctive U.S. style of fast, staccato melodeon playing, full of cascading triplets, to which he aspired (page 7 of the insert booklet). |

| | Diatonic Accordion |
| | The diatonic accordion (or melodeon) resembles a small piano accordion, except where the piano-accordion has piano-style keys, the diatonic has one or more vertical rows of buttons - hence the title "button box". | | | The diatonic accordion was developed in Germany in the middle years of the 19th century, taking on pretty much its modern form in the 1890's. | | | The development of a range of harmonica-type instruments and the concertina from the 1820s onwards clearly played a part in the development of the button box, which became one of the most popular instruments in the world in the early 20th century. |

| | Now paired up with Martin Quinn, an accordion player from Armagh, and still expertly backed by Blake, Carberry delivers another wonderful performance, bringing an elegant and lyrical (dare I say "feminine"?) touch to her playing of an instrument more known for its percussive tone, all the while swinging with abandon. | | | Quinn also plays the melodeon on a couple of tracks, including his solo, and a banjo-melodeon unaccompanied duet which sounds right out of a Flanagan Brothers 78rpm record. | | | A young banjo player from a noted musical family, Angelina Carberry first attracted notice through the recording entitled "Memories of the Holla" which she made with her father, accordion player Peter Carberry, and the great John Blake on guitar and piano. |

| | Kimmo Pohjonen: Finnish experiments for the accordion |
| | Kimmo began exploring ways of processing of the accordion's sound during five years with pop-rock band Toni Rossi and Sinitaivas. | | | On 5-row chromatic, melodeon, harmonica, and sometimes, as on Maria's first album, gogo marimba (a large mbira), Pohjonen shows up in bands and as a session musician throughout current Finnish roots music. | | | Pohjonen wrestles with the accordion as if it were an alligator, generating waves of rolling, swelling, wheezing, clattering live-sampled sound, building to a churning climax in which the music becomes almost detached from the man and his instrument. |
