Amazingly the harmonica is the best selling instrument in the world. this is because its so easy to play, and (pretty sure) it doesn't need tuning.
The accordion is an instrument in the free reed family. This includes instruments such as the harmonica, the organ, and the concertina.
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.
The accordion is part of the free reed instrument family. This means that it has reeds mounted in it that sound when air blows over them. The first instrument in the family was the Chinese Sheng. Other instruments that are related to the accordion include the harmonica, the concertina, the melodeon, and the bandoneon.

An accordion? what is the name of a harmonica like instrument beginning with the letter "A" ?
In an accordion the sound is produced by metal reeds vibrating freely (not beating against a frame) when blown by bellows operated by the player. Valves operated by the keys and buttons direct air from the bellows past the reeds, making them vibrate. An accordion is classified as a FREE-REED instrument, along with the harmonica, harmonium, concertina, melodian, melodica and various traditional East Asian instruments such as the Sheng and Sho, whence the accordion and its ilk were originally derived.
Some examples of chromatic instruments used in music are the piano, accordion, and chromatic harmonica. These instruments are capable of playing all the notes in the musical scale, including sharps and flats, allowing for a wider range of musical expression.
