Concertina

Admit it.  When others were playing their excellent guitar or violin music at an impromptu concert when you were young, it would have been awesome to break out that beautiful concertina and take over the party in 0.6 seconds. I can't take my eyes off it.

Cool. I don't think I've ever seen a concertina "in the flesh" before, though I may have heard one. Bayan, yes. Bandoneon, yes.

I like the piano (can't play it--one finger is significantly lower than the others and it starts to ache after practicing for more than a few minutes)--the notes are logically laid out. Trying to memorize all those buttons would be maddening.

It can only be muscle memory at that speed. There may be patterns invisible to us that become sort of plug-and-play. I know it is that way with guitar
