I play accordion, but strictly of the piano accordion kind. When it comes to button accordions they just baffle me. The layouts of the buttons are frequently bizarre.
However from the look of this button accordion I should be able to play it as the buttons are clearly laid out in a piano style. Perhaps this is more common than I've previously thought, I'll need to find out more about this subject.
I play the three row diatonic button accordion, which is laid out like three diatonic harmonicas in three different keys on top of one another (mine is in GCF. I've never seen one like the picture you posted, although I have seen the club style boxes which are like two row boxes with helper accidentals in a third row on top. There are as well the chromatic button accordions in c-griff or b-griff (like mirror images on one another), which are interesting because the fingering repeats (mostly) for the various keys as you go down the button board.
