Last week i took my accordion to get some straps and was surprised to see that they do not sell them any more. From 3 stores only one had a used accordion for sale.
Is this the same on your country. Is accordion disappering giving way to the keyboard that simulates many instruments?
Its a pitty. I am picking my accordeon and enjoy not only playing but remembering those years at school and home when i use to play with my father.
Are there any accordionist on the forum or kids learning such a wonderful forgotten instrument?
I have been listening this nice songs and hope you too will enjoy them
This first one is the type of acordeon my dad had. The right hand is not like piano.

I never formally learned but my hubby and I did the pro musician thing for a while (that’s where we met actually) and I’ve fiddled a bit, I bought my son a miniature one for his birthday. He’s only two so it’s a bit complicated but he pushes the keys while we work the bellows.
I love the accordian and while I love the technology of synthesizers they are still nowhere near the real thing.
