  • Accordions have been used in some of the most iconic songs ever made. Like... the Captain Pugwash theme... and many more.
    This week we check out and attempt to play Mugig's beginner accordion!
    UPDATE: We sent this accordion out to someone a while back but unfortunately it got lost in the post :(

      LOOTd man I have one and I really enjoy it. It has a really really cool sound the cheap ones are 20 I have one of those and one made out of Gord that was about 90 bucks. The plastic one for 20 is good enough to have fun with it. Have you looked at a erhu they are super cool and then you have ocarinas those are cool electric kazoos lol those exist as well. So many man .

      That's subjective.
      A left hander would probably be more comfortable that way, or if you just did it that way from the start unknowingly (or knowingly) you would learn that way.
      Musical instruments don't exactly come with rule books, you just do it.

      That is why it makes different sounds when you pull it out to when you push it in

    This isn't an accordion, this is a Constantina.
    Accordions have keys while Constantina have buttons

      Thought it was a basic chromatic button accordion?

      LOOTd all be it, Constantinas have lost their name now a days because of how similar they are to the accordion but I can confirm. It's a Constantina

      Lol you guys, that's a toy diatonic accordion. Chromatics are much larger and have the same notes on the push and pull. Concertinas are small and hexagon shaped.

      Izakokomarixyz bet we can all agree it's an accordion at least? 🤞

      LOOTd Yes, it's an accordion. If you look at a consantina you'll notice they're alot longer that accordions.

    I could play a song on that I am sure haha
    I would have to probably make alterations to it to make it work better for big meaty adult hands. Would that be cheating?
