| |  You said "diatonic" ? | Accordion, in its original diatonic form, appeared in Brittany at the end of the 19th century.
It quickly became popular, it was at that time the instrument used to liven up celebrations. Traditional instruments were put away for some time.
Then, chromatic accordions progressively appeared and attracted many people in open-air cafes and in village dances.Later, some musicians gave the diatonic accordion a new life and place, adapting it to new and diverse musical styles. Today, the diatonic accordion is often played with violins, clarinets, bombardes, guitars and other instruments.
Diatonic accordion offers the player access
to a varied repertoire :
- Sailor songs
- Popular songs
- Celtic music
- Folk music, etc...
