Absolutely. I started with piano, then violin (didn't get very far with that), then recorder (my main instrument for many years), then penny whistle, and finally, almost five years ago when I was in my mid forties, I fell in love with and began learning to play the piano accordion. With the other instruments, I never felt that the music I was making lived inside of me. I always felt a sense of dissatisfaction with even the best I could do, and I got bored fairly quickly with those instuments.

Even before I got hold of my first piano accordion, I had an instinctive feeling that it was my instrument. Once I started learning to play it, I was able to satisfy musical needs I never even knew I had. I never get bored with it, I am able to express what I have to say musically, and best of all, I feel that sense of the music living inside of me that I never had before with any other instrument. My only regret is that I didn't learn to play it and develop the muscle memories when I was younger. I will probably never become as good on the accordion as I probably would have had I started at a younger age.
