I Need an Accordion.
It sounds (not very) crazy, but I'm in a new musical project, and I need to rent or buy an accordion on the cheap. Don't need a super-professional one, but I prefer one with keys rather than buttons, being the pianist I am.
How cheap do they get? What brands are good? WHy the heck would I ask this in the CH?

You might find a good deal on Craigs List, but do your research online and see what fits your needs/price. "WHy the heck would I ask this in the CH?" ......mebee a professional accordian aficionado in the CH might chime in?  Or.....find a good VST.......

Why would you ask here? Because this is clearly a cry for help, that's why. The Bakers didn't create a Squeezebox Support Group, so you're reaching out for a lifeline.
That's alright. Who among us hasn't at one point thought about playing an unorthodox instrument such as an accordian or a bass? Okay, so some of us haven't, but that's not the point. You're among friends here. Well, you're surrounded by people who will try not to mock any more than is absolutely necessary. Okay, there are one or two of those. Anyway, help is available if you really want it. I'm not saying that it's useful help, but it's here regardless.
There was a post some time ago about someone who accidentally left their car unlocked in a bad neighborhood with an accordian in the backseat. When they returned, there were two accordians.
Hope that helps.

I guess accordians are like anything else. The less expensive ones still sound like an accordian but are more flimsy and maybe harder to play because they aren't built as well....just a guess.
Have you considered buying a Kontakt sampled accordian? Probably less expensive in the long run. If you need one for live use though,that might not work.

Me thinks.... iffin I remember correctly, even TTS has an accordion patch in it....
I'd go VST before buying a real one.... there is more to playing those things than just pressing the keys.....and buttons.
Yup, I'd go VST..... then again....
Weird Al made a career out of playing one as did a number of folks on the Lawrence Welk Show..... just ask my mom.

My children totally love watching Lawrence Welk as well as the polka's/accordians/dancing.......(eez betterer than letting em watch Nicki Minaj/Lady Gaga/Rhianna etc......).
Going to a used music store and testing out an accordian might let you know if you really want to pursue buing it/put in the time in practicing.
