Toy 17 Key Accordian Review

Toy 17 Key Accordian
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although the carrying case is not very practical (it's a cardboard box, to be frank), this is a great little instrument that is good not only for kids, but for adults who are begginers at the accordion. It was good for me to have such a small model to begin with, so that that way I could get used to the feel of the accordion without being overwhelmed by all the buttons. I've since progressed to a full-sized accordion, but this instrument made it a very smooth transition.

Kid's Accordion Review

I got this accordion for my 3 year old son as his Christmas gift. I think it was a bit too pricey for the quality of the product. The instrument was designed well and looks like a real instrument but moments after taking it out of its box one of the black keys came off..I glued it back on and it was fine after that. I think maybe it should cost less if they are going to use cheap materials. I would not recommend this item to a friend.

Piano Accordion 17 Keys Blue Review

Piano Accordion 17 Keys Blue
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To begin, I was given a $20 Schylling children's accordion by a friend and it sounds truly amazing, like I'm in Venice going through the streets. The only problem was that a few notes were seriously screwed up. So I thought, "Great, I'll buy a new one and it'll have keys instead of buttons." I figured you couldn't screw up an accordion and I ordered this one.
The word wrong is not strong enough, the accordion was sent in a very used and beaten up box, with "BL" written in marker on one side. There is a Chinese girl on the box playing the accordion as happily as a child can play accordion with a gun pointed at them. The brand is not D' Luca, but is "Accordion" and as you know, "UC 104 accordion make by specially design and is a new produce for children." You also can't forget, "These instrument is an ideal toy for children". The instruction booklet, or rather the "OPERATION INETRUCTIONS", is a piece of comic genius, for instance: "HOW TO HOLD THE ACCRDION - Put the leather strap on shoulder when playing. The right-hand are employed in manipulating the keys.pushing and pulling are effected by the left wrist during performance and the palm is engaged in supporting the bottom of the instrument In the course of pushing and pulling." Another favorite is, "Press the key with the first and second finger of the right hand, and the two notes 1 and 2 (dol and re) will be produced by successive pushing and pulling bellows in the same manner press all the key exrecise repeat." And everyone knows, "Any kind of finger methed must quick in action than accompaniment are success."
Now to the sound, imagine, if you will, a bus' brakes scraping mixed with the Chinese girl on the box singing and that would be close to the sound. When you push and pull there are supposed to be 2 different notes that get played, not on this accordion - they are basically identical. Usually with an instrument if you play two or three notes together it creates a rich and resounding chord, this accordion sounds like two or three busses are trying to stop before they hit the Chinese girl. The bass buttons are set up to where you generally have to hit two at a time (the instructions say you're supposed to hit 2), this adds depth, but very much so overwhelms the other notes. I was also under the impression that I had ordered the blue accordion with the holographic fish scale stuff on it, but instead got the basic blue (very much so could've been my fault). I just sent an e-mail to the senders requesting a full refund, I hope that goes well, I'll update this review if it's a hassle to return.
All in All - Only buy this product for your child if you hate them and yourself.
I'd rather leave on a high note, so here you go, "The advantage of the Midget 8 Bass isnew-style that it is easy to play for children. Which key and bassare select specific, read, accurate accent, fine timbre, sonosousvolume. It' s bass with pull and push produce different scale arrangement. Io learn the use of fingers methed able to lay a good fundation from now on also for play large one." I certainly feel as if I was purposely screwed over, but my fundation is tremoring with laughter.

Barcelona Full-Size 30 Key Piano Styled Accordion - Gray with Free Locking Case Review

Barcelona Full-Size 30 Key Piano Styled Accordion - Gray with Free Locking Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a 32 bass piano accordion, this instrument has bass buttons for major, minor, and seventh chords on Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, and E, making it possible to play most things you'd like to play as a beginner.
I'm not a trainer accordion player, but am a classically trained pianist who was interested in teaching myself the accordion. This instrument seems like it will suit me well for as long as I'm content just "messing around" on the accordion. If I were to play in public in any capacity whatsoever, I would get a better instrument (likely something Italian-made, costing a thousand dollars or more). But for jamming with friends at home, this one is perfect.
You can't beat the price. It's a great value for the money. Highly recommended as a first accordion.
Made in China.

Barcelona Full-Size 30 Key Piano Styled Accordion with Free Locking Case - Black Review

Barcelona Full-Size 30 Key Piano Styled Accordion with Free Locking Case - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, let me be very clear - if you're serious about playing the accordion and you know you'll be doing it for a long time, skip this instrument. On the other hand, if you're a beginning student and you're not sure whether it's going to become a regular part of your life, this accordion is perfect for you.
The Pros:
-Decent-sized Keyboard (not the largest, but also not so small as to be a handicap early on)
-32 Bass Buttons - It's a far cry from the number of bass buttons on most "professional" accordions, but a lot of more expensive student models come with just 12. This gives you a bit more to work with
-Affordable - It's tough to find a new accordion for less
-Comes with a case and straps. The case is pretty wimpy, but it WILL keep the dust off. If you're on a tight budget, the inclusion of these extras is great.
-The accordion smells a little bit like a skating rink. You might consider this a con, but I don't mind the small dose of childhood nostalgia every time I practice.
The Cons:
-This is not the smoothest accordion you'll ever find. It works, and it sounds okay, but it's nowhere near professional quality in feel and sound.
-The free straps are functional, but not super comfortable for long practices. If you can spare another $30, I would highly recommend getting the Hohner padded straps sold elsewhere on Amazon. I'm very glad that I did.
-You will eventually need to upgrade if you find that you love the accordion. On the bright side, you can probably sell this thing on Craigslist for at least 1/2 to 2/3rds of what you paid for it.
In summary, this is a great budget accordion for someone who wants to test the waters and see if the accordion is really for them. If you're very serious about the accordion, though, get something better. As much as I like mine, I'm already shopping for a nice Hohner or something similar to replace it. I'm glad I didn't drop $1000+ on a nice one from the beginning, though.
