The accordeon.
This photo was also taken with the soft-box. I personally like natural light better.

He sure is good . As he has been playing since he was 4 years old. Now he is 30 and still playing even in the local pub sometimes. I will have a look at the other one . Next time I make an order on RB , I have to buy one for him and send it up for his birthday. Groetjes Esther

Looks like Moppy has mastered the accordion. Does he play jazz or the blues? Each time I see your pics like this I think, “Ah, that’s my favorite.” I love them all but I think this is my favorite!!! ☺☺☺

He used to play jazz i think :)
(He passed away a few weeks ago, unexpectedly) I still upload some photo’s of him now and then.

Lenny La Rue, IPA
I am an American keyboardist so the only sound worse than a banjo is an accordion. Other musicians try to kill you if you even mention one. I’ve never heard of an accordion teacher who survived the experience. I’m tempted to get one just because American rock musicians loathe them; I can make them leave my gigs and then use a REAL instrument. Accordion = torture.
Rat playing a toy one = hysteria. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Ellen replied
Thank you very much Lenny for sharing this :))

oh my Ellen this is toooooooooooooo much, hilarious amd well done to you and the talented little critter!!!
