Spain or Latin America is associated with a guitar, Africa with tam-tams (big drums), Germany with a harmonica or an accordion ... "What is Marya without Ivan? .. What song is without a button accordion? .." - you can't erase the words from the song. An accordion or button accordion, along with a balalaika, is a symbol of Russia.
Since its inception, the button accordion has passed its evolutionary path of development. Since 1892, when the instrument appeared in Russia, the keyboard layout and the number of rows have changed, the bass mechanism has been improved (rollers instead of bent levers).
