baby Schylling Accordion
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

One happy kid!
I bought this for my son's 16th birthday because he wanted and accordion. He spends time playing regularly and I've not felt the need to ask him to stop. Due to the scale there's never a "bad" note. He says it's easy to play and has fun messing around finding songs he can figure out. It would be even better if there were more song books available. A super value!

Great accordion!
I bought this accordion for my 4-year old son, and he loved it. It's very high quality for the price, and the sound is wonderful. My 6-year old enjoys playing with it too.

Hours of fun for adults and children, great toy for the price
Excellent toy for hours of entertainment for adults and children!
Everyone likes to try and play with this accordian, even the adults.
Make sure to get more than one because it is very popular.
The toy is also great for children or adults who need to build their fine and gross motor skills while having fun.
Best about it is that you cannot hit any BAD notes! Anything you try will sound good because it does not have the black notes.
Great toy for the price and entertaining for young and old!

im too old to be enjoying this, this much.
I found this toy in a local Homegoods store, and was having a blast playing it in the store. I'm so happy to find the same product online because the one in the store had been damaged. It really sounds like an accordion, the air really comes in and out of it and it has to have the air inside of it in order to play the sounds, not your usual childs toy. Oh and i'm 22 years old, and i'm buying it for myself. My niece can play with it when she comes over..MAYBE.

Good Beginner Accordion
I play the organ for church, and have always wanted an instrument I could easily carry with me for things like road trips, campouts, and Christmas caroling. After spending money on a guitar only to find out it wasn't really my kind of instrument, I wanted to try an accordion without spending too much on one. This accordion fit the bill perfectly.
First of all, you have to understand going in that this instrument has limitations. Its small size means that it runs out of air real fast when using the bass buttons, making them essentially unusable in my opinion. It is limited to the C major scale, although this is sufficient to play almost any child's song, folk tune, hymn, or carol. It plays different notes depending on whether you are pushing or pulling. This means that sometimes you need to push farther to play the note you want, but are already all the way in. Fortunately, there is a button that lets it "take a breath." However, that always seems to be needed at bad places in the music, although I was able to minimize those problems with practice.
The good thing about the diatonic arrangement is that it makes it much easier to play by ear. It has sufficient range to play almost every song I've tried. I've also found that my fingers don't have to change to different buttons very often. I thought I would miss my thumb, but I don't, because each finger covers two notes, so it's sort of like playing the piano with eight fingers on my right hand. I'll definitely be upgrading when I can afford it, but that is largely due to the amount of fun I have had with this one. My children also enjoy it a lot, although they are too young to actually play it yet.
This accordion arrived with a couple of reeds obviously out of tune to my trained ear, but when I commented on that to other people they hadn't noticed. Overall, it has a very pleasant sound.
