Summary: Just right
Comment: 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.

Summary: Think this is just for kids? Think again...
Comment: 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 quality of construction is much higher than one would expect for this price range. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning a diatonic accordion.

Summary: Simply cool
Comment: 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 accompanying instructions are clearly understandable and very valuable even for grown-ups who might have forgotten about their knowledge of sheet music and scales.It is easy to learn if you put your energy to it, and it also tells you how not to destroy the instrument which happened to us before with a different type of instrument that was on the same price level, but only half as good.
Three thumbs up!

Summary: Great fun and educational to boot
Comment: 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. And everyone in the family loves to play around with it, from our 18 year old daughter all the way to our 4 year old daughter. The sound is very good, even with it being a toy and it's complicated enough for the adults in the family to stay interested in learning. However, it's also easy enough for children to master a few tunes themselves without much effort, which keeps them working to get better and better.
Definitely a great buy for us!

Summary: Love it.
Comment: 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 know how to use it yourself so that you can spend several hours focusing on your child learning how to use it as well. If you think music is important you will read the manual. If you couldn't care less, then keep the manual for your child to read on his/her own so he/she can get the best use out of the instrument when they are old enough to read it on their own. If you're annoyed by noises and music and your kid having a blast pushing and pulling on the instrument, then don't buy it. My personal feeling is that kids should be given the opportunities to experience these kinds of things, so if you want Junior to sit in the corner and play a quiet video game, don't bother buying this.
This instrument will also give your child the exposure to learn how to play other instruments as well. Just like learning a language, once you master one you can much more easily learn others. The same is true with musical instruments. Learn this, and your child has learned how to read music, playing by ear, fingerings, chords, etc. SO much better than something your child doesn't have to even use a brain cell to master.
