Also, Russians typically use a chromatic type of accordion, which doesn't have piano keys. So... the instrument isn't inherently Russian. The fame of accordions and below driven instruments widely spread though and therefore the Russians caught wind of them.

The accordion is such an amazing instrument! I wish I could play it well. I'm fairly mediocre at it, but it is pretty fun to practice. I'll probably never be that great at it, though, since it takes years of dedication for most people. I have 2 accordions that I got from my grandma. One is a 12 bass and the other is one with 120 chord buttons and a 16 1/2 inch keyboard. Both sound fairly nice, though they're not 100 percent perfect. The larger one's air release button doesn't work, so I have to hold a handful of chord buttons to close it. And the high C key on the little one's keyboard sticks out a little bit which causes it to not push in if you don't hit it right.

Polly Bonanza, look on here at youtube, it's pretty straightforward to sort out the keyboard, just a few minutes of your time, honest, and the other problem may not be difficult. I've never been able to repair things but I've taken my accordion apart and learned all about it, now like you, I just have to practice more! If you google it you'll probably find the reason is simply a bent metal arm, and honestly, as long as you're careful and methodically open it up you 'll find how easy it is to fix I'm sure.

No, it is not a percussion instrument. There are no hammers that strike strings. The keys lift to expose holes to let the air out through the reeds and sound the desired notes. Technically its not a woodwind instrument as there are no places to blow in to with the mouth to vibrate the desired note as the air comes from moving the bellows. Technically, it's classified as a bellows-driven free-reed instrument.
