accordion playing and the right thumb?

I'm considering learning to play the button accordion.

How demanding is it on the right thumb?

In other words, how much strength and flexibility is required?

Current wait time for a keyed flute?

Months? Years?

Anybody have a recent experience to share?

Thanks in advance.
