Bandoneon...

Hi folks up-till now I didn't realize that bandoneon only works when you expand bellows and you have to always contract them with release valve while bellows of most harmonicas would work both ways. Is there any specific reason for that? Did anyone of us tried playing this instrument? I've been playing accordions and diatonic accordions and that's why curious.

Enjoy the video bellow and note the way bandoneon sounds only while bellows expanded.
