he is very good

I will *never* look at an accordion the same!

A. The least annoying - most beautiful - accordian performance I have ever witnessed.

B. Whatever his lessons cost, he got his money's worth. Time to bankroll.

Great!

That isn't an accordion, it is a concertina. Accordions have a keyboard for the right hand.

That is not a concertina: it's a chromatic button accordion, and they're quite a challenge to play. There are many types of button accordions, usually with the buttons arranged in diatonic rows. I can honk out a few simple tunes on my horribly out-of-tune one-row (usually brought out at Christmas to play auld lang syne).

Concertinas differ from accordions in that the melody buttons are on both ends (instead of melody/chord divisions typical of accordions), and the buttons are oriented in the same direction as the bellows. I have a couple types: a 20-button C/G anglo, and a 1921 Chemnitzer Pearl Queen. They're fun instruments!

Always remember: Accordions don't play Lady of Spain, people do.

Weird Al has just been thoroughly humbled.

The Red Priest would be pleased. (Look him up.)

how many buttons is there on that chromatic thing???
wow.

It's russian folk version of classic accordion named button accordion :-)

Talk about epic. He blew me away!
