Guys, I know this may be hard for you to believe but my wife plays accordion (and flute and piccolo - Played flute in the Philadelphia Summer Orchestra which is made up mostly of 'second chair' musicians from the the Philadelphia Orchestra supplemented by local college students). This may, of course, explain my attitude about accordions .

FWIW, I don't like Bagpipes either (unless it's at somebody's funeral that I don't like).
