I think instrument range and the inability of the instrument to blend with other instrument is a major setback to its popularity.

I love Accordion. In fact....ABBA keyboardist's fav instrument is this!
This should be played more often in public. yes...it does sound amazing for folk songs and World Music...but it is also a very versatile instrument for other genres.

Wacth some terror Accordion vids in youtube and be prepared to be bowled over by its rich tone.

Hello, I am a jazz pianist but also play accordion.
I frequently play from 12:30PM - 3:30PM at Vineria Restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Center on Sundays.
I usually play piano with a few traditional accordion songs each set.
I also teach both piano and accordion. I do not know how to find accordions in this part of the world so you must have one already..

Hey Bro..cool! I heard from a Malay pakcik that the cheap China Ones are under RM2k. The really good German ones are between RM5k-6k!

sorry for resurrecting this ancient post, but i play the concertina!! look it up,. it doesn't look much like an accordion, but the principle is the same, push , pull, accompaniment + melody. Actually, accordion is common in Malaysia compared to concertina. lots of traditional malay bands use it, its almost a standard for malay folk, isn't it?
