	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 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 (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.

	A section of music encyclopedia
		Because the accordion produces the same note whether you push or pull the bellows, getting up a snappy rhythm is more difficult than with a melodeon, which yields a bass chord rhythm as the bellows are moved in and out because a different note is produced on the push and on the pull.
		The accordion has a chromatic piano-like keyboard, although you’ll occasionally see true accordions with buttons (not to be confused with the melodeon).
		All accordions and melodeons have lefthand buttons for playing bass chords.

	Basic Information
		In practice, any 2 or 3 row diatonic button-key accordion can be called a melodeon without causing confusion.
		If the reasoning behind all of the above is clear to you, and seems convincing, remember also that all melodeons and most button accordions play different notes on the push and the pull, so that the bellows direction changes affect the rhythmic dynamics of the playing too, which in turn affect the style.
		Strictly speaking, a melodeon is a single row instrument with only two basses.

		The Piano Accordion first appeared about a hundred years ago and initially they were like a melodeon with a piano keyboard, and a limited number of basses.
		The Piano type tends to suit beginners who can already read music or play the piano, as the instrument is very logically laid out, and of course has a familiar keyboard.
		During the 1920’s, great improvements were made to the design and sound, and with the Stradella bass system, a full left hand accompaniment became possible.

	The Flanagan Brothers
		But I'm certain that the father of the Flanagan boys didn't play his "single row accordion or melodeon" (page 2) in such a manner.
		But as good a melodeon player as Joe Flanagan was, and he was seldom short of excellent, his 1929 electrical remake of Kimmel's acoustic International Echoes of 1918, reveals that his technique falls quite a bit short of that heard on the original.
		I disagree entirely that Joe Flanagan helped to "create" that distinctive U.S. style of fast, staccato melodeon playing, full of cascading triplets, to which he aspired (page 7 of the insert booklet).

	Angelina Carberry & Martin Quinn
		Now paired up with Martin Quinn, an accordion player from Armagh, and still expertly backed by Blake, Carberry delivers another wonderful performance, bringing an elegant and lyrical (dare I say "feminine"?) touch to her playing of an instrument more known for its percussive tone, all the while swinging with abandon.
		Quinn also plays the melodeon on a couple of tracks, including his solo, and a banjo-melodeon unaccompanied duet which sounds right out of a Flanagan Brothers 78rpm record.
		A young banjo player from a noted musical family, Angelina Carberry first attracted notice through the recording entitled "Memories of the Holla" which she made with her father, accordion player Peter Carberry, and the great John Blake on guitar and piano.

	Free Reed - Accordion, Melodeon, Concertina, Harmonica
		The Piano Accordion first appeared about a hundred years ago and initially they were like a melodeon with a piano keyboard, and a limited number of basses.
		The Melodeon was developed from the Harmonica and other primitive free reed instruments early in the 19th century, in the border area between Saxony and Bohemia.
		The Abbe Georg Josef Vogler had a role in introducing the concept of the free reed principle to Europe and by his death in 1814 many prototype instruments were being made with a variety of names and shapes.

	Concertina.net Discussion Forums > Identification
		However, "flutina" has become the accepted name for all these accordions in England, just as "melodeon" is now generally used to describe button accordions that are not melodeons.
		So the correct, and original, name for all these instruments is "French accordion", and the "flutina" was only a variant of the style, with its levers and pallets (pads) enclosed, out of sight, under the end board.
		I'm afraid that a date of 1812 is impossible, it is about 20 years too early for any French accordion, and 17 years before Demian patented the instrument.
