 The Accordina is a wind and free reed instrument which was invented and built originally in Paris by Andrew Borel in the 1930s and patented in 1943. The instrument did not prove popular at the time however the Accordina is enjoying a resurgence today, especially in Europe and in China. Jazz musicians such as Richard Galliano, Jacques Bolognesi, Francis Jauvin, and Peter Soave appreciate the instrument for its great expressive qualities, unique sound and light weight compared to the accordion. The Accordina combines the sound of a chromatic harmonica with the keyboard of a chromatic accordion and has a range of three and a half octaves (from F – C) with 44 keys. Italian (C) and Russian (B) keyboards are available and the buttons can be coloured black and white, the same as a piano keyboard. Amplified versions are also available although the instrument is easily played through a conventional microphone. Although jazz is the main style played on the instrument, it is equally suited to tango, Latin American and classical music. Alan Shute is the UK contact for Joseph Carrel Accordina's and he will be visiting festivals and Box and Fiddle Clubs to promote and demonstrate the instrument.
