Accordion Player original pen and ink and watercolour illustration by Rosie Brooks

An accordion is a musical instrument that belongs to the family of free-reed aerophones. It is played by compressing and expanding a bellows while pressing buttons or keys to open and close the air valves, which allow air to pass over reeds and produce sound. Accordions come in a variety of sizes and styles, ranging from small, portable instruments to larger, more complex models with multiple keyboards and a wide range of sounds. Accordions are used in a variety of musical genres, including folk music, jazz, classical music, and popular music. They are particularly associated with traditional European music, such as polka, waltz, and tango.
