"Multi-keyboardists who want to add a piano accordion to their rig are faced with a dilemma. A garage sale special is likely to be inexpensive enough, but such instruments often need tuning or other repairs. The 120-bass, 40-key squeezeboxes you may encounter in the pawnshop world can be heavier and bulkier than you'd prefer. And while one or two reed settings might work for some material, a single instrument may not give enough tonal variation for a wide variety of styles. New instruments? Pro-quality accordions generally start around $2,000, and can easily go up to ten times that. The Main Squeeze 911 addresses just about all these issues. It's an absolutely pro-level instrument, built like a tank, but at 15 lbs. it's remarkably lightweight. Its lacquered walnut body, Art Deco grille, and contrasting bellows fabrics are a delight to the eyes -- this thing looks great next to a B-3. The 26 right-hand keys are snappy yet solid. five switches select crisply between the treble reed combinations. The 72 bass buttons feel secure and responsive, with none of the wiggles that plague lower-end instruments. The key to the 911's versatility is in its treble reed blocks -- bassoon, clarinet, musette, bandoneon, and master. The bassoon and clarinet reeds respond evenly up and down the keyboard, and the combination setting is dry enough to sound great on Cajun, rock, and alternative-pop material. The musette block is deliciously wet, perfect for Parisian styles. I've been using it for the past few weeks with my klezmer band. i'm all over the place in a klezmer setting: left hand bass and chords, using both hands and grooving like crazy, accompanying a sensitive vocal ballad, playing a burning melody, or laying down chord beds that blend in with the other acoustic rhythm instruments. The 911 made me feel I could do it all, and sound good while I did it; it's an excellent all-around accordion, especially for those of us who double on keys." -- Ernie Rideout, Keyboard Magazine - May 2002 "The Main Squeeze Accordion is a marvel of engineering. A 3-reed model in a compact package with a lovely and distinct sound made possible by the wooden body." --Guy Klucevsek, world-renowned performer and composer "this is the most beautiful accordion I've ever seen. And it sounds gorgeous!" - --Phoebe Legere, pop rock phenomenon "I love the sound. Very warm and mellow. Exactly what you need. The true world accordion." --Gil Goldstein, famous performer, composer and writer of "Jazz Composer's Companion" "The Main Squeeze Model 911 is the most solid accordion I've ever played. It should meet the demands of any serious musician, whether they play professionally or just for the love of it." --John Linnell (They Might Be Giants) "Walter Kuehr's new Main Squeeze Accordion screams out versatility. Its compact size poses no compromise to a full compliment of rich sounds. In one sitting I played a Cajun waltz, an Irish fiddle tune, some blues, and a French musette tune. The Main Squeeze provides five perfect choices of sounds. It has all the sounds I want or need and it looks great, too!" --Louis Giampetruzzi, author of "Contemporary Accordion" "I really enjoyed playing the Main Squeeze accordion. I'm recommending it to my students. It has a strong yet sensitive tone, good resonance due to the wood, and the right size and price." --Dr. William Schimmel "Irresistible!" --Walter Kuehr (Band Leader, The Last of the International Playboys)
