There is a good chance that you will gain new-found respect for the accordion after you have checked out all of these awesome accordion innovations. The accordion has a unique design that allows it to be adapted into everything, from a high-fashion headdress to a piece of furniture.
While other instruments may sound better, none of them have designs that are anywhere near as flexible (literally and figuratively) as the accordion. When is the last time you ever saw someone turning off a flute lamp, or took a load off on a chair shaped like a piano? Even if you do not have a musical bone in your body, you should still spend some time clicking through all of these awesome accordion innovations. Where else would you get to see a tablet/smartphone designed in the shape of an accordion?
