I started out with a Hohner anglo. When I got trouble with buttons sticking, I decided to get a better one and eventually decided on a Morse. Of the ones I tried the Morse was the lightest and also plays very easily. I tried playing the Hohner again recently and until then I hadn't realised how stiff it was. The mid price, accordion reeded anglos are certainly well worth considering. They have good tone, play well and are well made. They may not sound quite the real thing, but they are much cheaper than the top name ones, such as those listed by Anahata, and, almost as important as price, you don't have to wait years for one. I went into a shop and walked out with a brand new instrument which I am well pleased with. Most people who hear it comment very favourably on the tone.
