I’d love to, but I’m only familiar with the piano accordion — the one with
which you play on a piano keyboard with your right hand, and chord
buttons on the left. The other types, of which there are several, are a mystery to me (thus far).
Here are few sites that have some useful information on the different types of accordions:
Accordions Worldwide has a page that explains the differences between a few types of Accordions.
The companion site for PBS’ film, Accordion Dreams, explains what chromatic, diatonic and piano accordions are.
