piano accordion
Keyed bellows instrument
A piano accordion is an accordion with a piano-style keyboard for the right hand, rather than buttons.
The keyboard typically spans two to four octaves and allows pianists to adapt more easily to the instrument.
The left hand operates bass buttons as on other accordions.
She played polkas on her piano accordion.
