Ms. Proulx "Accordion Crimes" IMHO is a great read.

When I read it I found it interesting as narrative but redolent of 'decay' rather than of 'life'. I was amused, however, by her confusion of graphics wherein she included a concertina (a Jeffries as I recall) among all the various versions of accordions and melodions.

Accordion Crimes was my first exposure to her writing and it didn't inspire me to explore her further. Perhaps that is a pity.
