Ordered 17 key 8 bass piano green Toy Accordion from Jsung through walmart 10/13/25. Also Liberty Bellows

 It should arrive between 10/28-11/4/25. Has extended free holiday returns until 1/31/26. Not available so walmart canceled order.

I've been listening to Liberty Bellows, "How to play 12 bass piano Accordion." which looks like it has 2 octaves from lower C, through middle C, ending in higher C.
