How to learn to play the accordion…?

Ok, so Im planning on learning to play the accordion(as soon as I find one I can afford). Right now the only way I know of to learn to play is to get an instructor(which I really cant afford right now). Ive met a few young(early 20s) people who could play quite well, but Im sure they couldnt afford proper lessons either(if they were here Id just ask them). So can anyone give me some suggestions for alternatives, or maybe a way to find super cheap lessons?

If there’s a college in your area, you might want to contact the music department and see if they have anyone. Usually college students don’t charge more than $10 per lesson.
