Where to Go to Get an Accordion in Pittsburgh

Unless you're in Montreal or New Orleans, it's not too easy to find a regular music store that sells accordions. Button accordions you can sometimes find at folk music stores. I've had a lot of luck with piano accordions at pawn shops.

You could try a local accordion repairman. They will often have second-hand accordions available.

None of these places is a sure bet, so be sure to call before you go.
