How does the piano accordion make its sound?

Inside the accordion are reeds. These reeds are usually made of steel and are placed in a wooden frame. When you blow air over the reed, it vibrates and produces a sound. Each reed is connected to one of the keys on the accordion so that the reeds are covered unless you press a key. When you press down a key, that reed is able to vibrate and sound. The bellows are important because they are the source of air. By moving the bellows in and out, you move air over the reeds.
