The "switches" on an Accordion are called "registers." What they do is they change the sound of the accordion. Examples of registers include "Clarinet," which will make the accordion have a higher, lighter clarinet like sound. Another is "Bassoon" which has a much deeper tone to it. Most full size accordion have up to 11 of these switches. A student instrument might only have three basic ones.
