Accordions, Banjos, Bagpipes, and Tubas: why do we mock them? Because
they trade subtlety, tone, and control for volume. This used to be a
good trade: before amplification you wanted the instruments as loud as
possible. While other instruments better fit the trade-offs of today,
there are still times when you want to go for volume: Outdoor Contra in Davis Square this evening!
