An Accordion is a hand-held, keyed wind instrument, whose sound is generated by squeezing its bellows upon free reeds. It is sometimes referred to as a 'squeezebox'. The keys on the right side are similar to piano keys and are used for melodies, while the buttons on the left-hand side are used to play chords. The straps are worn over the shoulder, like a rucksack across the front. When the accordion is not in use a strap holds the two ends together to prevent the box holding the accordion opening.
The Accordion is a mainstay of blues, folk, bluegrass and Cajun music and is also a popular choice with buskers worldwide due to its portability. They are remarkably agile instruments in spite of their size, capable of swift and delicate melodies, across a wide dynamic range, which is varied by the speed at which the box is squeezed. The range of an accordion is generally form the F below middle C, up one and a half octaves to a C.

An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically as opposed to relying on an electric amplifier. When the strings on an acoustic guitar are plucked or strummed - the sound waves resonate through the body of the guitar, therefore creating the acoustic sound. The various frequencies produced can all depend on string length, tension and more. The strings are what cause the soundboard and box to vibrate - if the strings of one guitar are different from another then they will amplify the sound frequencies stronger or weaker than the other.
