What musical instruments were used in the 1920s?
And how were they used eg what each instrument did (bass, melody ect)
thank you for answers 
One instrument you would have seen more of that you don’t see so much now is the concertina, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertina. There were large concertina bands that used differently pitched English concertinas, treble, tenor and bass. The Salvation Army often used duet concertinas. Popular music was more likely to be played on an anglo-german concertina. Concertinas are still played today but as often as not by folk musicians. The English concertina was considered a serious instrument in 19th and early 20th centuries and there are pieces for the concertina by well known composers.
