Fun accordion!
I had never so much as touched an accordion before so I took the risk and ordered this guy. It is very fun to play and even my roomie decided to give it a shot and enjoys playing on occasion. I was not sure if this accordion came with the straps and was pleased to find that it came with a comfortable set. It also arrived with a beginner's book. The book moves a bit quick and I imagine might be difficult to follow at times if you don't have any music theory in your head, but since it was an unexpected extra I can't complain too much. It certainly makes it more fun to learn with.

Hohner GCF Ordering nightmare
Ordered the GCF from the online website, the accordion arrived new, was honestly a great piece. Once I started playing it I noticed 3 of the keys were emitting a buzzing sound and the bellows were losing air too quickly. Took it back to Guitar Center for a swap, waited a week and they send me a USED unit. The box was taped, the straps were already attached to the unit and there was no manual. I mean is there even a Quality check in place?? Why would you issue a USED unit to someone that paid full retail for the unit? Then i was given the notice that a new unit was on back order, and was given a date of March 03,2023 to receive it. They kept pushing back and finally gave me a new date of April 10,2023. I cancelled the order and ordered it from another retailer that has it in stock. I suggest you thoroughly inspect your unit to ensure it's not a used unit if you do order online. Guitar Center has lost all my trust, I have a 100 gift card that I need to use before ending all my business with this company.

Good beginner accordion. Nice and affordable. Not too heavy. I saw this accordion being recommended multiple times online for beginners so I thought I'd go for it and I haven't had any issues yet. The sound is great and the keys are nice as well. I would recommend this to other beginners
