Accordion Music: Polka Milusia (video) (http://www.linkonardo.com/en/accordion/d4452/accordion-music-polka-milusia-video.html)

What do you think about it?

This format cropped up on another site.
The suggestion was that button accordions were so unfashionable  that some were built to mimic piano keys.
Sounds silly but I did know someone who couldn't get work because a diatonic 2-row wasn't a proper accordion - he was "forced" to take up CBA to keep the bookings flowing.

Yes, it's a tricked out CBA.  Nice piece of kit.

The black keys are purely decorative, usually they're made to look more like a standard piano keyboard rather than just alternating like this one.  Morbidoni made one and I've also seen one labelled Polka King.
