I would recommend this to anyone, regardless of age, who wants a cheap intro to accordions. It's a far cry from how a real accordion plays, but the sound is still there. It's a lot of fun to play, even as an adult.My only complaint is the bellows is very loud/squeaky (like plastic rubbing) and the A and B notes sound more like dying mice than notes.I'm 15 and it takes quite the effort to stretch out the bellows, (yes I'm using the air valve) and this is meant for kids. I don't see how a kid could play this and not get exhausted after using it. Also, the bellows aren't very airtight. You really have to squeeze and pull to get out some notes, and it's very hard to do this coupled with the limited length of the bellows and the resistance from the instrument. This makes playing fast songs, such as drunken sailor, very difficult. Slow songs are easy, but with fast ones you can't seem to get more than a single note out before you completely collapse the bellows.However, for 25 dollars this thing is worth it. Most accordions are $500 and this can be a great learning tool. It's great for something you just wanna fiddle with but not great for really playing any songs. It's also fairly easy to learn, I learned how to play a few songs on my first day with it.Update: bellows have mellowed out a bit after repeated use, however all still applies to newly purchased accordions. Accordion is not airtight.My child is able to make a nice sound come out of this accordion. It is a little stiff, but not impossible for him to use. My younger child likes the sound of it, too.This instrument has buttons, not piano keys, and only has the "white key" notes, not the "black key" notes. The notes are CDEFGABCDEFGAB. There are also chord buttons on the left side.I had never touched an accordion before, and I have limited musical background, but the instructions in the package were useful for getting started. I was able to figure out "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" pretty quickly.The bellow is really squeaky, which almost ruins the experience altogether. If it weren't for that, the rest of the issues would hardly be worth mentioning (i.e. The thumb strap is in an awkward position, uncomfortable).I wish it came with a book of some little songs a child could play; that would make it much more fun; other toy instruments we've purchased have music books that come with them.. With nothing to play, we've lost interest very quickly. The overall tone seems good - not painfully flat. I don't feel like I was ripped off, but I'm also not sure I would recommend it. We were interested in dabbling with some kind of hand organ without breaking the bank... I guess this was okay for that.Grandson love polka music..now he can make his ownThis product was a fun little gift. It works well and is pretty novice for someone with no accordion experience. Fun for adults too! However, I purchased this item new, paid full price, and it most definitely came used. The box was beaten up and the accordion had dirt and marks on it.MUSICUBE 10 Keys Accordion, Accordion for Kids is super cute. My grandson wanted this for his birthday, so I got it, and he loved it. He had a lot of fun serenading us. It was delightful. Of course his younger brother had to try it out also, as did their dad. Lots of fun.Yes it’s a toy but it’s an actual instrument. I learned 3 songs on in 3 days and works well. Easy to learn.Lots of YouTube videos on this accordion. Looks like all these accordions are made by the same manufacturer.
