The bandoneón is a free-reed instrument particularly popular in Argentina. A free reed aerophone is a Musical instrument where Sound is produced as air flows past a Vibrating reed in a frame For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Argentina topics. It plays an essential role in the orquesta tipica, the tango orchestra. Orquesta típica (or tango orchestra) is an orchestra or chamber group that traditionally plays Argentine Tango music. Tango is a style of music that originated among European immigrant populations of Argentina and Uruguay. The bandoneón, called bandonion by its German inventor, Heinrich Band, was originally intended as an instrument for religious music and the popular music of the day, in contrast to its closest cousin, the German concertina (or Konzertina), considered to be a folk instrument. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. Religious music (also sacred music) is Music performed or composed for religious use or through religious influence Popular music is Music belonging to any of a number of musical styles that are accessible to the general public and are disseminated by one or more A concertina is a free-reed Musical instrument, like the various Accordions and the Harmonica. German emigrants to Argentina brought the instrument with them in the early twentieth century, where it was incorporated into the local music. The twentieth century of the Common Era began on Like accordions and concertinas, the bandoneón is played by holding the instrument between both hands and either pushing in or pulling out the instrument while simultaneously pressing one or more buttons with the fingers. The accordion is a portable box-shaped Musical instrument of the hand-held Bellows -driven free-reed aerophone family sometimes referred to as a Squeezebox A concertina is a free-reed Musical instrument, like the various Accordions and the Harmonica.

Unlike the piano accordion, the bandoneón does not have keyboards per se, but has buttons on both sides; and also unlike most accordions, most buttons on the bandoneón produce a different note when played closing than when played opening. See also Accordion A piano accordion is an Accordion equipped with a right-hand keyboard similar to a Piano or organ This means that each keyboard has actually two layouts - one for the opening notes, and one for the closing notes. Since the right and left hand keyboards are also different, this adds up to four different keyboard layouts that must be learned in order to play the instrument. There is also a difference between the notes produced on the button layout of an Argentine-tuned bandoneón versus a German-tuned one.

Additionally, none of these keyboard layouts presents a scalar sequence of notes. In Music, a scale is a group of musical notes collected in ascending and descending order that provides material for or is used to conveniently represent part or all A few of the adjacent buttons form triads, for example the buttons under three adjacent fingers might sound G, B, and D when the instrument is pushed in, and F#, A, and C when it is pulled out -- an example from an Argentine-tuned bandoneón. In Music and Music theory, a triad is a three- note chord that can be stacked in thirds This makes it easier to play some simple music with I-V harmony, but quite challenging to play elaborate scalar passages and runs.
