Really? Me too...which did you played? My family used to have a WERSI 
Galaxy...(and IIRC we started with a Hammond). And later my father 
exchanged it by a Yamaha Clavinova and a Technics PSR.
I later stopped playing and just started playing around again with 
synthesizer when i moved into my own flat, when i became 18.

> Actually, I don't know any kid that plays accordian nowadays...
I do. The neighbours kids, when i was younger, were forced to play 
accordian...the worst sounding instrument ever...(beside bagpipe and 
Soundblaster FM ,hehe).

But nowadays, hm, i think it really is very outmoded now. Nowadays, 
kids learn guitar, flute, violin, piano or drums.
