Best Answer

In relation to piano accordions, the right hand mechanism comprises of a keyboard similar to a piano or organ. Music is played when you press a key which lifts up a pallet. This allows air to enter the tone chamber in either direction, exciting the Accordion reeds, producing sound on the pull/push movement of the bellows. The left hand side consists of a Stradella bass system which is standard for all piano accordions. Piano accordions also have treble and bass couplers which are used to change the quality of the sound.
