Usage of coils isn't impossible, since the accordion does use air to vibrate things made of metal that might be magnetic. JFTR even the vibration of nylon strings can be recorded by coils, but there are good reasons for avoiding this, since nylon has got no directly electromagnetical impact and air neither has got ;). It's possible to record a solid body electrical guitar even by using a dynamic microphone, but that unlikely will produce a nice sound ;).
