Editorial Review
Your child probably doesn't know Lawrence Welk or the accordion he toted around so famously for years. That should work in the favor of this sturdy, enjoyable instrument. Compact and well built, this starter instrument is a great introduction to the accordion--or just a lot of ephemeral fun. The accordion fits nicely into the palms of an adult's hands, but isn't too unwieldy for its target audience. The number of keys are minimized for ease of use and simplicity, but it's still possible to crank out a complex favorite such as "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (a brief "basic instructions" leaflet is enclosed) only 10 minutes after the instrument's out of the box. --Keith Simanton
Make beautiful music with this easy-to-play instrument. The Little Red Wood Accordion is a great first accordion for any child who wants to learn to play it later in life. Features keys 1 through 7, bellows, buckle and strap for bellows, air valve, bass and harmonic. Instructions included.

Yikes... buying an accordion? Not so fast.... December 12, 2005
By Megan Romer
Buying a kids accordion is probably something your average parent wouldn't even consider; most folks don't like accordion music, and the idea of a kid squeezing and squeezing on one of these things is about as appealing as a hole in the head.However, most people have misconstrued ideas about what this instrument would sound like. First of all, this is a diatonic accordion, meaning it's tuned to only one key. The buttons make different sounds depending on whether you're pushing or pulling on the bellows. Diatonic accordions are popular in Cajun and Zydeco, Irish Music, Tex-Mex and Conjunto, Gypsy Music, and various other forms of world music. They are not the accordions typically used in polka.Because of the diatonic setup, your kid can't play a sour note! It's like giving them an 8-note wide section of a piano, with no black keys. Sure, if they try, they'll still be able to drive you nuts with this thing, but most likely, they'll enjoy trying to pick out songs. Buy them a Cajun or Zydeco CD to go along with it (try Buckwheat Zydeco's kids album: Choo Choo Boogaloo) and hopefully they'll be inspired and want to play real music on it.

Pleasantly surprized October 15, 2000
By A Customer
Durability: Educational: Fun:
I was very pleased with this item. I had not expected such a nice tone from it. My 6 year old grandson was giving "concerts" the same night he opened his present. Amazingly, his "music" is quite nice to hear. This is definitely not another "noise making" toy. You will like it very much.

Rockin' Accordion January 23, 2000
By A Customer
Durability: Educational: Fun:
I've had this accordion for about a year and a half, and every time I pull it out and play a tune, I have far too much fun. While I'd like to be able to play recognizable tunes other than the 3 that came with the accordion, improv is a buch o' fun, and just about anything you do will sound good. I am 18 years old, and it still entertains me, so I'm sure it will be even more fun for younger kids.

Ordered it twice and the WRONG one keeps coming
I have ordered this item twice now. Both times I received the blue Hohner accordian instead of this one. AND, the hohner is about $18, I paid $28. Read more

Although, it does take some getting used to in order to play recognizable tunes on the accordian, both of my boys (5 and 8) have enjoyed fiddling around with it. Read more

NOT an all wooden accordian!
We paid a little extra for this accordion as it stated it was "little wooden accordion". However, when we received it, it appears to be plastic. Read more
