Hello, members,
I'm Jane, and I'm not even a novice yet.
I expressed an interest in button accordions to someone who plays. Next thing I knew, a button box was dropped off on my doorstep, with just one piece of information: "Keys of G and C."
So--THANK YOU for the introductory page--how to hold it, how to look after it, how to get started.
I figured out after a while that the air button is a slide, not an actual pressed button. Then I found out how to make loud and mostly fairly pleasant sounds with bellows and buttons.
Next step: chart of buttons (thank you again). The layout of buttons on this box is somewhat different (at the ends) from either of your 21-button G/C charts. I'm slowly making my own chart, with an in--> or out<-- arrow for every note. And I'm proud to say I figured out all by myself WHY the sixth button down is C B, instead of the expected "logical" B C.
My life is very full (and my house has a lot of people in it with varying needs for quiet), so I'm not sure I'll keep on, but it's fun for now to try it out.
Jane E
