This is really a reply to a long dead thread that I found. When I developed a problem in my wrist I tried playing with thumb completely off the box as much as possible (I play Irish style, long strap, BC  on left knee). It isn't easy--and on some tunes impossible--but I think it actually improved my finger control as well as relieving my wrist.

Or you could get another melodeon.. this is one of the strongest reasons for try before you buy, one instrument could be perfect for one individual, and a CTS risk for another maybe.

two  padded shoulder straps would completely solve the problem as wrist is not having to push against keyboard to keep it still & thiumb can rest lightly on edge of keyboard just to locate hand in relation to keyboard. It doesn't matter whether you are playing Irish, English or mongolian music - it still works just as well
