Bandoneons are similar to button accordions. Concertinas are similar to accordions, except they are smaller and each key only plays one individual note (as opposed to accordions which can also play chords). Other instruments in the same family include harmonicas and organs, but those instruments are not as similar to the Accordion for obvious reasons.
