Purchased this for my two year old Granddaughter...she was thrilled although she has some learning to do to use it properly.

The accordion is a great concept. Inexpensive but delivers a real accordion experience. Unfortunately, one of the rubber seals that runs around the perimeter of the accordion failed in under a month. The air now leaks out and the accordion makes no noise. We are returning this one.

I got this for my daughter and she loved it for a few weeks. She took good care of it and it worked great for around a month. Then it fell apart. The mechanism inside came loose and it turned into a rattle toy. I called AND emailed HOHNER with no response from the company. TERRIBLE customer service if they dont return emails or Phone calls. PIECE OF JUNK. It scratches really easy and the vinyl trim comes loose as well. It sounds good until it falls apart.... ;(

I bought this for my four year old granddaughter for her birthday. She saw an accordion on Noggin and wanted one of her own. We were really surprised with the quality and sound. She loves it!

My kids love this toy and it has been thrown around all over the place and no problems. Very durable and great sound!

We bought the accordion as a Christmas present for our 4yr old grandson. He has not learned how to play it yet, but does have fun with it and has already learned the fingering.

The item shipped in a timely fashion, but the toy arrived with some of the left-hand buttons stuck inside the toy so you couldn't get them out without dismantling it; the same buttons are mounted over pads, of which two were loose and shaking around. In other words: the toy came completely unusable. There were smudges and a scratch on the item as well, so I have a lingering suspicion that someone's previous return was sent "as new" to me. There are obvious quality control issues in the manufacture or distribution of this toy, so I would recommend avoiding this particular item. After returning this item (hope you don't end up with it!) I found a different brand of toy accordion (at twice the price) that seems well worth the added price in terms of durability and functionality.

I purchased this for my son for his 4th birthday. It is a great idea but this particular toy is a piece of junk, I would not recommend it. Plus I feel it could be unsafe. If you read the reviews you will see that there is a problem with the buttons slipping inside the accordion, rendering it unplayable. I ordered one which arrived totally broken so I returned it for another one. Within a few minutes of playing it, the button slipped inside and my son could not play his birthday present. Very disappointing. I wish I had read the reviews. This is happening to a lot of people. The problem is the button holes are the size of little fingers so if he presses the button hard enough, it simply pops inside the hole and no longer functions.

There are some nicer accordions for about $50 so I plan to return this one as well and get one from another company. I also had no response for Hoehner. My safety concern is that the holes for the buttons are just the right size for a little finger to get stuck really badly inside.

My grandson played with this toy, under adult supervision, no more than three times. One of the buttons on the base side slipped into the accordion and was irretrievable. We sent it back for a refund.

Hohner makes great quality products. Even comes with music to play a couple of songs. My kid can't stop playing. Good product for any age.
