Rahendustele

Rahendustele is a traditional Estonian musical instrument, also known as the "Estonia" or "Estonia harp." It is a type of diatonic button accordion, characterized by its distinctive sound and unique design. The instrument was developed in Estonia in the early 20th century, with the first patents filed in 1906. The rahendustele is known for its rich, resonant tone and its ability to produce a wide range of musical expressions.

The instrument consists of a wooden frame, a set of metal buttons, and a bellows system that produces the sound. The buttons are arranged in a specific pattern, with each button corresponding to a specific note. The player presses the buttons with their fingers to produce the desired sound. The bellows system is operated by the player's breath, which inflates and deflates the bellows, creating the sound.

The rahendustele is often used in traditional Estonian music, particularly in folk and folk-rock genres. It is also used in contemporary music, and has been featured in various international music festivals and competitions. The instrument is known for its versatility and expressive capabilities, and is considered an important part of Estonian musical heritage.
