Some anti-mask laws in various places in the USA's stated intent is to prevent the Klu Klux Klan (white supremacist group) from using anonymous mass parades to terrorise their opponents.
Recently these "klan laws" have been used to threaten protesters wearing giant puppets parodying the US Army's School of the Americas at domonstrations in Columbus, Georgia.
This would be really hard, since accordions aren't supposed to be in tune with themselves in the first place. French Musette or "wet" tuning has at least three reeds each somewhat out of tune with each other. Gives it that "café" sound, and drives violin players crazy. It makes a pretty complex "target" to do a phase cancelation thing on. Some older Irish button boxes are tuned "dry," for a brighter sound. They might be a better bet. But it'll cost you. To get a really purely tuned full-sized accordion could cost $10,000. And to get another one tuned acoustically out of phase? Call us from the future. Then you have to play identically, whew. Better just to learn to like the dang instrument, imagine the savings!
