    Would anybody suggest a good spot to pick up a starter accordion? I want to have a go at a piano accordion but don't want to spend a fortune. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    A second gander would be perfect if anyone knows of someone with one. I'm sure there are loads out there gathering dust.

    There has been a few on adverts.ie in the near past and at some good prices so I would start there.
    Off course I would advise not to play the accordion in the first place but that's a whole different story :-)
    Have fun.

    Accordions are very delicate and intricate instruments. If you have no experience with accordions. Bring someone with you that does. You can have tons of serious problems with accordions from leaking bellows, tuning problems, broken reeds etc.
    Older accordions can especially suffer from these and so can cheaper accordions.
    Don't buy one without a good player or teacher seeing it first.
