I come from the Land of Accordions, so here it isn't odd at all.
I live in Germany, too and I know that it is not an odd instrument here. Nevertheless I often thought playing the accordion is seen as an odd hobby for an 17 years old. (I play it myself for about 12 years and often heard that people find it odd.) But in my case this opinion often comes from the people´s impression of "typical accordion music" which they don´t believe is interesting for people my age. They just don´t know that it is possible to play a great variety of music on it.
But I also know people who just find it interesting because I am not just another person who plays the guitar or the piano what is more common.
