ABSTRACT:
Each end box of an accordion has a plurality of keys arranged to control the operation of reeds within the end box with each reed producing a tone corresponding to a note in the chromatic scale which is dissimilar to the tones produced by the other reeds in the end box. The keys are arranged in longitudinal and transverse rows with the interval between adjacent keys in longitudinal rows being major thirds and the interval in transverse rows being minor seconds. The reeds are mounted on multi-celled reed blocks within a tone chamber defined in the interior of the end box. Air flow between the bellows of the accordion and the cells and, hence, through the reeds associated with the cells, is controlled by valve members secured to rods movable axially when the associated keys are depressed.
