Accordion - THe fact that I could get a used chromatic for $100 USD or so and would have to buy a new diatonic for about 10 times that made the chioce pretty easy. Your only real problem is is the snobbery. I gently explain that I have to play ing too many keys to lug 5 or 6 diatonic around. I that don't get it I Add that I don't smoke, so I can play the harmonica easily. Redefining a diatonic as "a harmonica for smokers" Hammers the nail in.
