One of the most incredible accordion designs I ever saw was this:

I had never studied either instrument before and registered for first year courses in spite of that, and accepted. I had my full year piano requirement almost complete in the first semester. I did this without having a piano at home....using the school's to practice on.

My first recital on piano had me doing two pieces in two months. One of them is at the end of this email. The other was very fast and...
