An accordion is a wind musical instrument, formed by a rectangular bellows, and two frames (one on each side) provided with rows of buttons (or with keys like those of the piano on the right hand side); it is played by carrying it hanging from the shoulders and holding it with both hands by the sides, so that the bellows is opened and closed with the left and the keys and buttons are pressed with both.

El acordeón, junto al piano y la guitarra, son instrumentos “armónicos”, ya que con ellos podemos ejecutar tanto la melodía como la armonía de una canción. Esto nos permite no solo aprender el instrumento, sino tambien aprender los conceptos básicos de la música en general, que son el ritmo, melodía y armonía.

On the other hand, the accordion is the only instrument capable of executing 3 notes at the same time with a single finger (the chords, or basses, of the left hand) this reduces its complexity, since with the right hand we can execute a melody , and with the left hand just touch a button and play a Major, Minor, or Seventh chord, so that we can better focus on the right hand melody.

AcordeonVirtual.com is a platform where you can play any type of accordion with your PC's keyboard (or mobile device). Today there are these available simulators:

• Bandoneon (instrument used mainly in Tango and Chamamé)
• Chromatic button accordion (with 120 basses in the left hand and chromatic buttons in the right hand)
• Diatonic Accordion (3-row accordion)
• Acordeón Dos Hileras – Sistema “Roque Gonzales” (conocido como “verdulera” en argentina)
  
• Piano Accordion (120 bass accordion with a 47 key piano in the right hand)

The tutorials are YouTube videos, and they are prepared so that you can practice with the accordion you want, for example if we go to the "ADG Accordion Scales" tutorial, a diatonic accordion in ADG tone will appear next to the tutorial.

The tutorials that you will find in AcordeonVirtual.com have the following advantages:

• They are categorized (by musical genre, difficulty, type of accordion, hand used, language and type of tutorial), and YouTube does not have these filters.
• Poseen asignado el simulador correspondiente al video (si entramos al tutorial “Escalas en el acordeón cromático”, el simulador que se agregará junto al video será el de acordeón cromático), con lo cual nos ahorramos tiempo tratando de saber “en qué tono está el acordeón” o “qué tipo de acordeón es ese”

• From a computer:

Play keys: Pressing alphanumeric keyboard of your computer
Change bellows direction (diatonic accordions): Escape, Shift, Ctrl or Space keys

At the moment there is no downloadable version available for PC or smartphone, as our goal is to develop an application that is as easy as possible to use. Without having to install or download anything at all, just connect to the internet and enjoy the simulator.

If the accordion you are looking for is not found within the simulators, you can write to us below and we will contact you to add the simulator to the site 🙂

You just have to write to us in the community section and we will be chatting with you shortly, and in advance, thank you very much for your contribution!

Yes, we can improve it! Simply write to us in the community section and we will contact you right away to see how we can add that sound that you do not find represented in the simulator
