Default digital accordian anyone?

Since the subject came up the other night in chat, anyone interested and has lots of loose change hanging around can check these:

http://www.accordion.co.uk/Musictech/musictech3.htm

Really, the smaller and simpler ones would be better to incorporate into an act, according to my personal opinion poll of ONE.(me)

Sheesh look what I miss comming into clown chat late! I have a old 120 button acoustic accordian that I am sometimes learning to play. They are amazing instruments!! A digital one would just be nuts.

Okay, maybe it is just a clown thing, but how many of us here at the Forum have accorians or have in the past?

Watch out for the Clown-Forum band, coming soon to a town near you... Only the widest range of Ukes and Accordians around.

A Clown-forum band would be outrageous!

I have a dream of breaking out and nonchalantly playing a oboe at a campfire. I'd have to get a oboe first though...

Yes. Yes it does! Concertinas are awsome. They would actually be better for clowning because you can move around with them more.

Sure does. Heres a cell phone shot of my concertina for those who might be wondering what one looks like. Kind of simple to play and a great icebreaker.
