CRAZE FOR ACCORDIONS
The accordion used to be favourite instrument of the coster and bargee, but now accordioir ' clubs and accordion orchestras are springing up all over Britain. There are 25 in London, and within the last 12 months a single manufacturer has sold 20.000, valued at £IOO,OOO.
A special " fool-proof" model can now bo obtained on which the learner can become expert in a fortnight. It costs little, and a repertoire of 300 accordion pieces, specially written for the instrument, is thrown in. A well-known manufacturer attributes this boom to revolt against machine-made music.
