Discovered this thread 2 months ago, and it helped me discover a previously unknown love of Irish trad music. Been listening to almost nothing else since. I've been tootling around with a Jerry Freeman Mellow Dog whistle for a month or so, and just opened a Doug Tipple flute for Christmas this morning.  Shame I can't make a sound come out of the drat thing, but hey, I'll get it eventually. This thread is seriously awesome, by the way, so much music I had no idea existed.

Hey music thread. I really wanna learn to play Irish music on a 2-row button accordion, mostly inspired by listening to Beoga. Looking around, it's hard to find info on a good source for beginner accordions that don't cost $1000+. Does anyone have some brand/model recommendations for a budget of about $300?

Was afraid of that. I can technically afford more but I have a hard time tossing serious money on an instrument I haven't played before and don't know if I will stick with. Is there a good guide out there for buying used accordions so I don't get a stinker? Irish style accordions seem to be pretty rare in my area so it's looking like Ebay if I don't want to break the budget too much.

Thanks for the response. I guess I thought $300 would be enough since that seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of "cheap, but good enough to decide if you like it" instruments like guitar. Looks like I'm going to need a bigger commitment for this one. One of these days my bank account will be full and I'll be listening to Paddy O' Brian or something and whoops, I own an accordion now.

I forgot about this thread for a while; just wanted to say thanks for all the great tips! I'll have to see what I can do.
