Best Answer

The British inventor Wheatstone took the idea of free reeds from Chinese instruments (like the Sheng and Gusheng) brought back during the time of the British Empire half way through the 1800s. He transfered the bamboo free reeds into metal and with a bit of work invented the concertina and melodeon. It wasn't too long after this that the piano and button accordions were invented in Germany, although no-one's quite sure where or who.
