Piano players, especially those that are trained, are often quite good, but for the most part, they can't hold a candle to a good, trained accordion player, at least that has been my experience.

. WOW ... I was raised on the accordion, I love the instrument, and through my accordion teacher who was very much involved in the American Accordionists Association, I got to know many of the great Accordionists, but I could never agree with the above statement ... Obviously there are talented piano and accordion players of all levels, but to say that a good trained piano player could "not hold a candle" to a good accordion player is really going off the deep end ...
I love ya, Gary, BUT ...
With some people you have to put some balance to their answers to find what they really are trying to say...
Obviously Fran is a Roland player that was trained on Accordions. And probably he thinks the same way about both. Which is offcourse his opinion.
But i think he just wants to say, that ROland makes great instruments, and accordeon training can be a very good way to start ones musical career. Which are both very correct statements.
