The Harmoneon or concert accordion[2] (French: Harmonéon, accordeon de concert) is a French free reed aerophone,[3] invented by Pierre Monichon in 1948, although he only patented the instrument four years later in 1952. It has been taught in musical conservatories since 1974.[4] The instrument has great similarity to both the duet concertina and button accordion.
