My husband plays the accordion and we purchased this toy accordian for our 3 year old grandson. He does not go anywhere now without it. It is well constructed and takes the sometimes rough handling from a 3 year old.

Kids love it! Actually, it comes with a book so the musically-challenged parents can learn to play too!

I may be a bit more negative than others due to the fact that I've owned accordions and concertinas for over 25 years. When I came across this toy accordion I assumed it would be of better quality due to it being a Hohner, which is a well known and reputable german accordion maker. If you play the accordion, don't expect to play anything, it leaks air, so you can't really play anything. Unfortunatley this toy accordion is just like any of the others available on the market with the Hohner name slapped on the tiny box it comes in. The accordion itself just has a small sticker (made in China) on it. So, if like me you expect this toy accordion to be a bit better in quality due to the hohner name, don't be fooled. It's no better or worste than the others I've seen. I bought two and one had better tone and sound than the other. Also, my 3 year old broke the strap which is a one piece (left arm and top/bottom snap to close bellows. Also, the bass buttons ended up bending requiring me to open the accordion and bending them back. Lasted 2 days before the strap broke and buttons bent. All the others on the market seem to be of the same quality, so expect this can happen. Again, it's a toy. For the price, it's worth it, just don't expect it to be better becuase it claims to be a hohner. If you're looking for a toy to get your kid interested, it's a great toy to buy, if you want him to learn to actually play, invest in a child's accordion for a few hundred, becuase, these toys are not really playable. For a toddler, it's fine and serves it's purpose.

My child wanted an accordion from Santa. Where can one buy a toy accordion other than Amazon? I chose the red one from Hohner. When it arrived, I was surprised at how small it was. But on Christmas morning, it was just the right size for my 5 year old. I showed her how to hold it and she was able to play. She refuses to let me show her how to play a song from the music that is provided. She prefers to make her own music. I would recommend this instrument, but keep in mind that it is loud.

My daughter loves to challenge us with her Christmas list and this year the biggest was an accordion. She was both surprised and thrilled to open this gift. It's adorable!

the accordion arrived with a piece floating around inside. we tried to fix it but we could hardly get a sound out of it. we returned it!
