An open-source design to bypass the expensive entry barrier to the niche instrument for beginners.
"Cheap" accordions easily sell for hundreds of dollars. With a 3D-printer, the price of this design comes to less than $10.

This accordion, with the exception of the harmonica, springs, and foam padding, is 100% 3D-printed.
This is just the beginning of my accordion design goals; I eventually want to create a full-size 3D-printed accordion which is currently thought to be impossible.
