What also moves like an accordion?
Similar musical instruments to the accordion include both the harmonica and concertina as these are wind instruments. The concertina itself was invented by Charles Wheatstone in 1829. This concertina was a small hexagonal instrument, with two twelve button keyboards and was fully chromatic, the same note played on push/pull of the bellows. Today, this kind of concertina is known as an Anglo concertina. Concertinas in countries such as Ireland are diatonic, different notes produced on pull/push of the bellows. The concertina is very similar to the accordion as you have both chromatic and diatonic accordions. The make up of this instrument is also very similar to the accordion with keyboards on either side connected together by a bellows.
Are the accordion and concertina closely related?
Yes, well in sound anyway. Both concertinas and accordions are members of the 'free-reed' family of instruments and as such have vaguely similar sounds. Most concertinas only use one reed per note, whereas most accordions use two or more and therefore come out with a different sound. Both use bellows for expression, but with the concertina being so much smaller than an average accordion, it might be argued that the dynamics on a concertina are a little easier to control. There are several types of concertina and many types of accordion - hence the frequent use of the word 'most' above.
