How much do accordions cost?

The diatonic accordion is an instrument that in recent times has not only become popular in Latin America , specifically in Mexico and Colombia, but also in Europe .

Maybe you want to start playing the accordion or you are a dad or mom who is looking for an instrument for your son or daughter and you are looking for prices or you want to level up and buy one, that is why here I will tell you how much cheap accordions cost to start and professionals .

In what tone should I buy my first accordion?

The correct term to refer to the accordion is “tonality”. The key in which I recommend you buy your first accordion is Fa (F Bb Eb) and for a simple reason: most northern Mexican groups play their hits on this type of accordion , which will make it easier for you to get more songs and have more versatility in your repertoire.
