Actually it is _diatonic_, meaning that it is played in one key only. But it is not bisonoric, like the western diatonic melodeons, but unisonoric, giving the same tone on push and pull.

I saw one of those long ago, and thought they were diatonic accordions ...

Fantastic, thank you for this. I'm starting to learn the play the Garmoshka given to me by my wife's family. I'm trying to work out how to correctly position the instrument and how to move my fingers correctly around the keys. Can you offer a basic tutorial to focus on these aspects?

Many thanks agani!
