The audio begins with the soft rustling sound of the accordion being removed from its case. The instrument is handled with care, its unique structure and tactile quality appreciated. We hear the faint click of the locks being undone, followed by the creaking sound of the accordion slowly expanding. This is the sound of the “bellows,” the flexible, pleated part of the accordion that allows air to flow in and out, producing its distinct sound. The handling of the accordion continues, each movement producing a soft, musical whisper, hinting at the rich, lively music that this instrument is capable of. The sound of the buttons and keys being gently pressed fills the air momentarily, creating a mellow, harmonic hum. This initiates the unfolding musical journey, the opening of the accordion instrument.
