Re: Advice for a complete newbie??
A real cajun accordion is a 10 diatonic (maybe 9)button accordion (works like a mouth harp/ harmonica). Just look at the pictures on the web. If you decided to go for one, buy a good one or a used second hand (good) one. It will make you happy and it will keep its price. members on this form will advice you. I myself own 2 LA handmades of two different brands (and different keys, C and D)and am very satisfied with them.
