quote:
I'm surprised you didn't correct Ricardo's spelling while you're at it. It needed no correction though 'Bandonion' was in fact the way it got spelled initially when the instrument was first marketed around 1856 by a distributor called 'Band'. The 'inventor' is a bit unclear, but Carl Zimmermann may have a larger claim to that than Heinrich Band. The instrument was based on the German Konzertina rather than imagined from scratch. Zimmermann modified Konzertinas in the late 1840s and thus a different instrument was born. He also produced them with a slightly different keyboard layout for Band - who named that version of the new instrument after himself and also started selling it. Band did request adding a fourth row to the three existing ones, unlike Zimmermann's version which had longer rows but still kept three of them on each side. So, at the end, 'Bandonion' stuck, in the version Band wanted. The name was at first 'bandonION', perhaps meant to be analogous to 'accordION'. 'Bandoneon' took off later and is now a more popular spelling, but 'bandonion' was the original spelling and is still in use. On the other hand, in German accordion is 'Akkordeon', so the same-ending reasoning does not quite compute, in German. BTW the accordion was a pretty recent invention at the time - from around 1829 or so. The Alfred Arnold factory in Carlsfeld that produced the AA 142 model used exclusively by Golden era tango orchestras started producing it in 1911. Unfortunately the factory got nationalized in 1948 as it was in East Germany, and that was that. Apparently the knowledge of the exact metal mixture and process to produce the magical reeds and plates on the AA 142 was lost. There are several contemporary bandoneon makers, however.
