The button accordion was invented by Cyril Damien in 1829 while the piano accordion was invented by French accordion maker, Bouton, in Paris in 1852.
Acoustic Accordions was created in 2009-09.
Various types of accordions exist with chromatic, diatonic and piano accordions the most common. Buttons on chromatic accordions play the same note on the push/pull direction of the bellows where buttons on diatonic accordions play two different notes depending on the bellows direction. Chromatic accordions can be categorized into two types: continental and British chromatic accordions. The main difference between British and continental chromatic accordions is that the British chromatic accordion has a Stradella bass layout. This bass layout is standard on all piano accordions. Additionally there are two more types of continental chromatic accordions such as the B and C system. The B system is popular in Eastern Europe, especially Russia, where it is known as the bayan accordion. The C system is popular amongst Western European accordion players.
Firotti accordions are made in Italy, a country renowned for its craftsmanship in musical instruments, particularly accordions. The production typically involves skilled artisans who use traditional techniques to ensure high quality and sound. This Italian heritage contributes to the distinctive character and reputation of Firotti accordions in the music world.
Left-handed accordions are designed with the keyboard and buttons reversed, making it easier for left-handed players to play. This allows left-handed musicians to have better control and dexterity while playing, leading to a more comfortable and efficient playing experience. Additionally, left-handed accordions are less common and can provide a unique and distinctive sound compared to traditional accordions.
No, bagpipes are a woodwind instrument.
It is a woodwind instrument because, like other woodwinds, it also uses reeds. Think about a clarinet, for example. Clarinets are woodwinds because when you blow on them, the reed vibrates and makes a sound. Accordions are like having a bunch of different reeds all contained in one instrument. When you press a key down, it opens a reed so that air can flow over it and it can vibrate. Then you have to move the bellows to get air moving over the reed. Since it has reeds, it can be thought of as a woodwind instrument. However, it must be noted that the reeds are usually made of steel, not wood.
Florino accordions were made by the Florino company, which was founded in Italy. The company is known for producing a range of high-quality accordions, particularly during the mid-20th century. Florino accordions are appreciated for their craftsmanship and sound quality, making them popular among musicians. However, specific details about the company's history and its current status may vary.

You can purchase accordions in Edmonton from Afternote Music, or John's Accordion Service. Failing that, I would ask the accordion society of Edmonton for recommendations.
There is certainly a stable market for accordions with these musical instruments enjoying an increase in popularity today. Other types of accordions such as electronic accordions became very popular in the 1990s following the arrival of M.I.D.I. (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) which allowed these hybrid instruments to be replaced by electronic versions, with the addition of MIDI interfaces. Although the accordion is not as popular worldwide as it was back in the early half of the 19th Century, this instrument has found a renewed interest in modern society with accordions forming an integral role in bands such as Those Darn Accordions. Such exposure has helped to bring the accordion back into the minds of music lovers.
The lightest piano accordions available are the beginner accordions and are very useful when learning to play the piano accordion at the beginning. The Stradella bass system consists of 12 buttons providing an easy accompaniment for the treble section. I honestly don't think that there is a piano accordion that weighs as light as six pounds but beginner accordions would be the best accordions to buy especially if you are a beginner.
Yes, a clarinet is a woodwind.
