Basses are found on the left-hand side of piano accordion. They are repeated in columns and rows that are evenly distributed. Any of the bass is played with the fingers of left hand.
Basses located in the first two columns from the bellows are used to play the single tones. They may be basic and auxiliary. Auxiliary basses are found in the first column and basic basses in the second column.
In other three columns that are not marked there are basses used to play chords. The basic chords are major, minor and chord seventh.
The number of basses in a row multiplied by the number of basses in a column gives the total number of basses on the accordion that may vary between the models of accordion. The basses of piano and button accordions are played in the same way.

Any key on the keyboard is played with the fingers on the right hand. White keys are used to play whole tones, while black keys are used to play semitones.

The names of the black keys are made depending on whether the white key is sharpen or flatten. Symbol for sharp tone is #, and for the flat tone is b. If tone C is sharpen by half tone, it results with tone C#. Tone Db occurs if tone D is flatten by half tone.
