My father was an accordian player a long time ago. I love the sound and energy it adds to a song. I've been thinking about learning how to play. What is the best accordian for a beginner?

My first accordion was the biggest one I've ever seen, but now I've got something a bit smaller. -

Some people refer to the smaller size that I play as a "woman's" size... or a stroller size.
It's smaller, weighs a lot less then my full size accordion, has a full keyboard. I find that it's a lot easier to get around with.
Still has a great sound too.
