Woah! That's an awesome turn of events. I've yet to meet someone who plays the accordion but I have an appreciation for the instrument. Does yours have keys or is it played by covering holes?

My right hand is a keyboard for melody and my left hand is a Stradella bass system. It also has several "mode" buttons on each side, similar to the pedals on a piano (two on the left, three on the right, though one mode on the right is broken for one of the keyboard keys).

I actually bought it off my colleague immediately after we finished our drinks. We walked over to his place, I handed him $60 (a total steal), and he handed me the accordion to schlep home!
