Fake Accordion Player

Fake accordion player at Tumwater Safeway (Cleveland Ave.) Notice how things just don't line up!

It takes so much courage to go outside and pretend to play an instrument. Its like guitar hero all over again

[PatrickPierceBateman]

It's amazing the lengths people will go to avoid getting a job.

[cshubs]

Well, if you need money, sell the accordion and speaker.

[VirusForPrez]

Guy needs the cash for some real accordion lessons ...

[bryanross]

I'd pay just to watch this guy and laugh my ass off.

[Whisperhollow]

We have these and the fake violinist along with the fake funerals where I live.

[andyvitale]

That's funny he should have put the energy into getting a job instead of this elaborate scam he'd be wealthy.

[kahren]

His sign should say: “I need money to learn how to play accordion.”

[raven]

Funny how all these people have similar signs, similar setups, and similar sounds, especially the violinist.

[Scotsmanthebedbug]

These are not uncommon. As a musician, I’m triggered like a mass shooting lol

[DavidKozinski]

Ha! On Cleveland ave. I'm watching from Cleveland, Ohio and 5 miles away from the Polka Hall of Fame. I can imagine if you look at my last name you can tell I knew he was a joke 5 seconds in. Original idea though.

[missbritt]

Crazy thing they can probably actually play the instrument, I find this hustle to be bizzare

[MichaelGawesebmainone]

I normally offer to teach people when they are faking an instrument I can play

[WhatsTheScoop]

LOL this guys gets the prize for biggest scammers 🎉 here’s your reward 😂

There are numerous "Actor's" begging in San Diego around Shopping mall's. Beware the holiday's. One was a opera singing violinist! (I walked close to him and he had his phone connected to a blue tooth speaker pretending to sing, and play the violin😢

[PITIFULDUDE]

Had a German physics teacher in college who played the accordion for the class if we killed it on exam day. She rocked that thing in a way I didn't know it could be rocked. This guy's recorded music blows more than his hamfisted bellow work.

[blagosvirakolo]

as an accordionist, we don't claim him lol

[stanm]

The socks and sandals are a dead giveaway. 😂

[Chorkaloopa]

He’s not even trying. Saddest part is that there are people out there who will defend his “efforts” and give him money. He’s a fraud, at best.

[daryllect]

Years ago I remember seeing a bumper sticker that said "Use an accordion, go to jail".
