I do agree that these little ones are maybe not going to last long - but they are fun, and VERY portable - some people even take them camping - if damaged, then they are easily replaced.

I have several other 'real' accordions - the problem is that most of the smaller ones aren't made these days - 12, 16, 24, 32 & 48 bass models are around, many only second hand.

My favourite is a 32 bass - an Italian one - the company ceased in the 1960s sometime - but the 22 key ones are VERY useful.

There are a fewer 'miniaturised' models around - intended for smaller hands, ladies, or children. Some are rubbish, but some are quality instruments, lighter to carry.
