My brother, who is a great keyboard player, started out on accordion.
He had a rock band in the late 60's doing Sam the Sham and other hits
of the time on accordion. His his name on the bellows and costumed up
and all - he was Lord Louie of Lord Louie and the Lads. Very 60's. He
now plays in the Legends of Rock show in Las Vegas and still plays a
mean squeeze box. Here in Seattle is one of the USA's premier
Accordion makers -Petosa's Accordions. He has some MIDI units that
are pretty incredible. The modern Accordion is a great piece of
technology.

Here's a link to one of their MIDI units:
