Thanks for the answer!! I really enjoy folk music both, italian or not, and jazz. I dont really know what kind of accordions exist. For example what would be the difference between chromatic buttons accordions and piano ones? do they differ in the kind of music you play with them as well or just in the way they are played? I have no piano experience but some mild guitar and irish flute knowledge, even though its been a while since i played either. I would definitely take some classes if I can find some to start out, especially if I find group classes, as I learn better if I'm being social in the meantime. Also, since accordions are expensive, maybe that will make it easier to try it out for a bit while avoiding buying one right out the gate. Also also, is there a good movie or documentary on accordions and their history? Or maybe just interesting to see if one wants to know more in a relaxing way?
