Find a hard case for bump/knock and weather protection. As for lugging it; if you don't have muscles now, you will later.

I was wondering this same thing about the washtub bass I've been building for the last several months. I want it to be something I can travel with but they're usually so odd shaped it would be a chore. I figured I could break it down and use the tub itself as an almost turtle shell that would cover my pack doubling as rain protection, I'm still figuring out ways to mount the stick.neck etc to the sides, that would run north south with my body to stay out of my legs way when walking. It's not the typical washtub I should mention, I've got groves of manzanita some as large as 25 feet tall with trunks 3 feet around, they're very old growth for manzanita. I have some naturally fallen and cured branches some 10 inches thick that I've hand carved a post and neck from, so it's kinda a custom gig.. not just the typical stick and tub. I'm looking forward to finishing it some day, and hope my plans of travelling with it are realistic. As for your accordion.. it looks pretty damn big but as Michael said, pack it up and go.. it'll put hair on yer chest...

you could make a suitcase bass and just pack stuff in the suitcase
Remember: Play an accordion go to jail, That's the law. My friend left his accordion in the back of his car overnight. When he woke up the next morning his car window was busted out and there was two accordions in the back seat! Anyone else got any accordion jokes?

difference between an accordian player and a treasury bond? one actually matures and earns money.
why'd the banjer player cross the street? to beat up the accordian player.
jeez
dont ya have a giant case? but no straps...

i bet you could rig one up so folded up it becomes a frame pack or unfolded you can wheel your accordian around in it..... i bet with some thought and sewing and modifications it would work

Unless you downsize, as someone else pointed out... that accordion is going to be
a chore to travel with......
Otherwise, perhaps you can get a backpack that Hunters use to carry dead deer corpses with.
They usually have a fold out platform, and several straps to lash the corpse onto it with.
Expensive, Yes.... but a second hand one, not so much.....
Just an idea..... Or build a pack yourself

I will carry it for you :insert gross explicit emoticon:
But seriously just bungee it to your back or if you have another back hook it to that one

I can't believe that I posted 3 times in a thread about accordians, I'm such a loser. Oh no!!!! Ohhh My God!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm trolling it!!!!!! It must be the twighlight zone!!!! (In the twighlight zone dudes voice) A young man, at home, alone, on his computer runs across a thread about accordions. He posts a joke about accordions, and finds himself writing another post. Soon he can't stop writing posts on accordions. Soon his friends see his avatar on the thread again , and again. He starts speaking polish, and eating sausages. He presses a like button under the picture of an accordion! He suddenly wakes up on a street corner playing one of those vial things as his girlfriend walks away for the last time ashamed of her new ex, while his friends laugh at him, parents walking by tell their children not to look as they hold their children's ears closed, senior citizens spit on him and call him a loser , and he looks down at a tip jar that;s been completely empty for 14 hours since he posted up there at 6 am to busk. He has just entered the accordion players zone!!!! Dooo-dooo dooo-dooo dooo-dooo dooo-dooo dooo-dooo
