The accordion is our "Musical Instrument of Choice."
The National Accordion Association (Association) is a group of accordionists who love to play our accordions and continually communicate with each other. The Association is member-driven and conducts an exciting convention every year. The term "member-driven" indicates that the Board listens and reacts to member requests and suggestions.
