==== Bandoneon ==== {{main article|Bandoneón}} The [[bandoneon]] (also rendered bandoneón, bandonion) is a German concertina system with an original bisonoric layout devised by [[Heinrich Band]]. Although intended as a substitute for the organ in small churches and chapels, it was soon secularized and is now associated with [[tango music]] due to the instrument's popularity in [[Argentina]] since the late 19th century when tango developed from various dance styles in Argentina and Uruguay.<ref name="Groppa2003">{{cite book|author=Carlos G. Groppa|title=The Tango in the United States: A History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WyG_fFUKKLgC&pg=PA69|date=30 December 2003|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-0-7864-2686-7|pages=69–}}</ref> Though the typical bandoneon is bisonoric, the 1920s saw the development of unisonoric variants such as the Ernst Kusserow and Charles Peguri systems, both introduced around 1925.<ref name="Drago2008">{{cite book|author=Alejandro Marcelo Drago|title=Instrumental Tango Idioms in the Symphonic Works and Orchestral Arrangements of Astor Piazzolla.

"Dry" means that vibrato is absent because the tuning is accurate.<ref name="Drago2008"/>{{rp|18}} The instrument is considered an essential part of the Argentine [[Orquesta típica#Argentina and Uruguay|tango orchestra]].
