Thank you Guy! It definitely makes it interesting

The two options for buying user program groups are Richard Noel and Michael Bridge.

I might do a video on that sometime

Thank you very much. Do you play the accordion?

I made some tutorials for just the left hand. First Steps on Stradella Bass - A Free accordion course for absolute beginners: ruclips.net/p/PLvrZG7iv4c_MZg2umz5T2KTGtngUNyAeA

Thank you for your encouraging words

Thank you Judy! How is your accordion learning coming along?

Thank you!

Hello Maja, the acoustic accordions have wax in them. You should be good as long as the temperature is under 60 degrees C or 140 fahrenheit. This usually happens when you leave the accordion in your car on days that are hot. The temperature in the car can easily get you 50-75% hotter than outside temperature.

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful.

Oh yeah. I've noticed that. I thought about it but I left it on because I thought it was pretty. I'll try turning that off next time.

Thank you for watching

Thank you Sagar

Do you already play piano/keyboard? Do you plan on playing piano/keyboard instruments? If yes, starting in a piano accordion will be beneficial wrt playing the other keyboard based instruments. Starting on button accordions has a lot of benefits. Compact instrument, modular design which leads to faster learning. Depending on where you live, it might be harder for you to find a good selection of button accordion instruments. Save for teachers who teach CBA.

Glad you like it!

Thank you!

I played it by ear

I bought it at Petosa accordions as a pre owned instrument.

Thank you Guy. How do you like the background wall? I painted it recently to match the furniture.

Thank you Guy!

Thank you! This is the only time I've sung so far in my compositions.

No. I have been taking lessons.

@@BreezyBellows By watching your video you brought topic I was discussing for a decades with other accordion players. I see you using 3/2 bass fingering (at least from time to time), which for in 95% of cases is a sign of self taught player. Any serious German, French, Belgian, Italian or Russian accordion method book uses the 4/3 Stradella bass fingering. I don't know of any musical school, college or conservatory, who would teach accordion using 3/2 fingering. But then again, if it works - it works. Which one do you use more, interesting to know. Keep up the good playing and videos. Subscribed!

That's an interesting topic. You left out USA 🙂. In USA 3/2 fingering is more common than 4/3. Most teachers from here teach 3/2 method. You are correct that the conservatories in Europe teach 4/3 fingering. But I've seen European and Russian conservatory educated players (from the previous generations) use 3/2. When I asked around, I was told that 3/2 is the old school method. 4/3 is the modern method. Conservatories around the world have switched to 4/3. Conservatories in the US didn't teach accordion anymore. So the older 3/2 fingering is more prevalent. The Palmer Hughes accordion course makes a passing reference to 4/3 fingering. It is mentioned that both methods are valid. But it defaults to 3/2 fingering throughout the book.

Thank you!

Yes!

Thank you! Yes, thats a very light and compact instrument. I bought it used. This is a victoria free bass only cba. I believe Pigini makes a similar one.

How is your new accordion?

I I have 2 Americanas which are Petosa accordions. The heavier one P374 is amazing. It includes some really nice musette registers, a tone chamber, a little heavier but really a joy to play. Thanks for asking!

That was a good video, showing us how to carefully learn a new tune. It certainly looked very challenging,

Yes! Those are the quint reeds

Thank you Hannes

Thank you

What's your favorite genre?

@@BreezyBellows mostly polkas. I was taking some lessons to get me out of my comfort area, but they focused on having us all play different parts. That is fun but learning 3 or 4th part of a song doesn’t sound good when played solo.

Thank you!

Can you email me at breezybellows@gmail.com I'll see if I can find the sheet

How long have you been playing? Can you email me at breezybellows@gmail.com?

I've faced issues with straps even for full size accordions. Even in the longest setting, the right strap wasn't long enough. So I had to request a longer replacement for the bottom half of the right strap

@@BreezyBellows Me too. On my current fullsize i had to lengthen the right strap. Just a month ago i bought a new set from an italian manufacturer. The length was sufficient. Imagine, i would have kept my midsize accordion ( 72 Basses, i had in the youth) i would have to replace the straps with minimum the length for a fullsize. The problem had not been the size of the accordion, as i then thought, but the far to short straps.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you Ken!

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you!

My main focus was 12, 72, 96 and 120

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for you comment!

I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Older weltmeisters are not very well made. Stella is an entry level model that is available for cheap prices but the quality is poor.

Thank you!

Thank you for listening!

Thank you Phillip
