Accordion Birthday Milestone Through History
In 1972 the accordion marks its 150th birthday. Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann created an Aura in 1882 that foreshadowed the instrument. He later built a Hand-Reoline with expanding leather bellows and a pallet tone system. The modern accordion uses bellows to move air through reeds to create tones.
