		An accordion is a small portable free-reed wind instrument with a keyboard, the smallest representative of the organ family.
		The first basic accordion invented in 1829 by Cyrill Demian in Vienna had only 5 buttons and each button played 2 chords (not single notes), one chord when pushing the bellows and another chord when pulling the bellows thus it was a diatonic accordion.
		The accordion was given to him as a present, and the ex-farmer soon successfully opened a small handicraft laboratory and sold the aesthetically and musically improved product mainly in nearby Loreto, the destination of a continuous, considerable flow of pilgrims.

		Among the free reeds' prominent descendants are melodeons, harmonicas and of course, the accordion.
		Contemporary accordions were patented in Austria by the early 19th century, the accordion is part of the wind family.
		Characteristic of each style is their ability to 'inhale' and 'exhale'; expanding and squeezing the pressure bellows (made from fabric and wood rib framing) forces an airstream over a series of free metal reeds inside the instrument which causes the reeds to vibrate.

		To assure correct sizing of your Woodfold accordion door the finished opening should be measured exact side to side dimension and exact height from header surface (where track attaches) to final finished floor or counter surface.
		This dimension should be stated width first and then height and should represent sizes after everything has been done to the opening that will ever be done to it.
		By design an accordion folding door is intended to have adjacent panels at a slight angle (it depends on the fullness of the door within the opening).

	Accordion History
		The accordion we now use is actually by origin and definition a "melodeon" because a pull out of the bellows gives a different note than a push in on the same button.
		The accordion (the word melodeon for our part is now considered obsolete), harmonica and concertina were invented in Europe in the early 1800's and were not well developed until about the mid 1800's.
		The accordion players had themselves "seconded" (backed) by a triangle (tit fer - "little iron") player, because the Cajun fiddlers, proud guardians of a long tradition, mostly refused to accompany the melodeon on account of their inability to harmonise with the first models in F. The arrival of the MONARCH in D solved the problem.

		The accordion cannot be tuned with the greatest of precision, but that is what makes its sound interesting, almost like an old analog synthesizer, in comparison to the newer ones.
		Most accordions that feature free-bass are so-called convertor accordions, which means that you can alternate, with the help of register switches, between the usual stradella layout and a free-bass layout.
		A problem with many convertor accordions, where the free-bass extends down to low E, is that the stradella is either too dark, or too bright (although this is subject to personal taste and may also depend on the character of the reeds).

	The Classical Free-Reed, Inc, The Classical Accordion, Part 1
		As the daughter of one of the first French accordion makers, she presented recitals of contemporary romantic music that included a piece of her own composition, a theme with variations in virtuoso style, at well-known Parisian concert halls such as the Hotel de Ville and the Conservatoire.
		The accordion and harmonium were included in the opera Four Saints in Three Acts (1928) by the American composer, Virgil Thomson (1896-1989), with libretto by Gertrude Stein.
		Some claim that the reason the accordion is not often taken seriously as a classical instrument is that for the first one hundred or so years of its existence, it was so technically limited (generally only a single-action diatonic instrument) that it was suitable only for folk music and tavern music.
