Accordion is a chordophones instruments

The Accordion is indeed classified as a chordophone, which means it produces sound through vibrating strings. However, it primarily generates sound using a free reed system, where air flows over reeds to create musical tones. While it does have strings in some designs, the defining feature of the accordion is its bellows mechanism, allowing for dynamic control of sound. Thus, it is more accurately described as a free reed instrument rather than a traditional chordophone like a violin or guitar.
