it's the (to my ears) harsh, gutteral, fingernails-on-a-blackboard sound quality. Let's be honest. It is much more of an 'ethnic' rather than 'mainstream' instrument.
Of course this is all just my opinion, which, lest you need reminding, is perfectly valid FOR ME.
one is used to or grew up with. Not a judgement thing, just a preference thing.

A bit harsh on the accordion, which to me is as good as any instrument when played well.
We in Europe regard the instrument very highly, whereas in the US
you will associate it with those polka bands and a few famous
jazz players Frank Morroca, Art Van Damme Ernie Felice and the
like.
The accordion gets a lot of exposure over here, but so does
Jimmy Smith, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones etc, we like them all.
Anyway I will continue to post the best accordion videos and
maybe one day you will come 'round to appreciating the
instrument a bit more .
