THE BANDONEON (948 words) |
 | The bandoneon is the last step of the evolution of the series of portable reed wind instruments, like the accordion and the concertina. |
| There is a version about the origin of the bandoneon, which says that it was invented as a replacement for the organs in small churches that couldnt afford the expense of an organ, or as a portable instrument to accompany funeral processions. |
| The factory that produced bandoneons, owned by Zimmerman, was bought in the 1860s by Ernest Louis Arnold, and since the beginning of the 20th Century most of his bandoneons (ELA) and the ones made by his son Alfred Arnold (AA) were exported to Argentina, with the name of Bandoneon. |
