The Georgian accordion or Georgian Garmoni (Georgian: ქართული გარმონი) is a traditional musical instrument of Georgia. It is especially popular in Tusheti and in Racha. Garmonis can be diatonic or chromatic. This instrument has been modified in the music of different peoples. The result of such adaptation are its varieties disseminated in the Caucasus – Caucasian garmoni, Azerbaijani garmoni, Asian garmoni, Ossetian iron-kandzal-pandir, Adyghean and Kabardyno-Balkarian pshine, Dagestanian komuz, etc. In the Caucasus, the garmoni was introduced in the 19th century.
