The accordion is a fascinating instrument that is normally too large and ponderous for children to manipulate. Now there's an accordion that's sized-down and simplified for young children. At rest, this purple, plastic accordion measures a compact 7 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. The bellows can be extended for a total instrument length of approximately 14 inches. A plastic hand strap and thumb loop are nicely sized for small hands and provide for easy compression and expansion of the bellows. The key system is vastly simplified from the traditional accordion: there is a harmonic button, a bass button, and a breath button for the left hand and there are seven button keys for the right hand. Because the right hand buttons produce a different note depending on whether the accordion is being expanded or compressed, 14 distinct notes can be played. The instruction booklet includes a brief history of the accordion, directions for play, and several sample songs to ensure instant musical success. — Tami Horiuchi

- Just right
- Easy to play right out of the box. Four year old daughter enjoys it greatly. Kids and grown-ups can't seem to leave it alone. The straps where your hand and thumb go need some breaking in, but overall a wonderful instrument. More reviews
- Think this is just for kids? Think again...
- Think this is just for kids? Think again. I bought this after I played with a similar accordion and couldn't believe a $20 instrument could actually make music. There are a lot of companies selling these, but I'm pretty sure they're all the same. If you think accordion playing might be fun, it's definitely worth the minor investment. The… More reviews
- Simply cool
- I was sceptical when I saw there was an accordion out at a very affordable price that promised to sound great and was easy to learn. I had previously some rather bad experience with a kid's piano that I returned as it sounded like ...*you name it. However, this product really holds up. It looks good, is made for the little people, and the… More reviews
- Great fun and educational to boot
- I bought this for my 9 year old son, who is very interested in learning different instruments. (And secretly, after a recent trip to visit my friend in Sweden and hearing her mother play the accordion, I was interested in giving it a try as well).
We are very happy with this! Here it is, 4 months past Christmas and this toy is still as popular as ever.… More reviews
- Love it.
- So many parents, I believe, don't care if a toy is educational. They just want a quiet object for their child to focus on so that it doesn't interrupt Mom or Dad's television show. This is really more a true instrument than a toy. It's educational. There is a manual that comes with it and it teaches you how to use it. You, as a smart parent, want to read it first and… More reviews
