Need to see Ted on more button box. Also a Ted & Molly bbox duet.
OMG! How on earth do you play such an intricate piece on the butons? Amazing! Respect!
Its called na golici from slavko avsenik, its not really that hard, he has harder pices from almost 1800 he wrote... but this one is the most popular give it a listen im sure u will like avsenik...
"Trompeten Echo" is the German derived name of the Slovenian song titled "Na Golici" originaly by Gorenjski Kvintet but popularised by Ansamble of brothers Avsenik, one of which wrote the song for the Gorenjski Kvintet.
Amazing really..has to be one of the hardest instruments to play.
Nop. Pretty easy. The buttons are placed very intuitively and with very few hand positions you can play most of the polkas and waltz from the region.
hell of a player thanks for all your videos just started to watch thanks from south carolina
That produced a lot more sound than I would’ve expected! Since learning more about Polka, I noticed the “sound holes” (a description worthy of Homer Simpson) on Hengel concertinas, also. Thanks for the demo!
Interesting. I like how you can get almost that "brass" sound with this instrument.
Thanks Ted for the introduction and information. And for the song.
Some Piano Accordions have a switch next to the Air Button that separates the Bass Reeds from the Chord Reeds to emulate the sound of a Helicon Button Box when you play the Bass Notes.
I really enjoy listening and watching you play the button box. Great!
Thanks Ted, You're a great talent, and I sure enjoy you and Mollie, doing your thing. Your music brings back good memories from long ago(when I was able to get around). Bob U.
That was wonderful Ted!
Thank you, Ted
Thank you for he quick lesson. It was very informative. I really appreciate this !!!!
Thanks, Ted. Great job explaining.!!!
THANKS Ted.As piano accordion players, we have always been intrigued by the button box and how it differs from the accordion.Great explanation and follow up with another favorite of ours: Trumpet Echo Polka. (Even though no Mollie there to do the trumpet and keyboard at the same time) We were looking forward to your next video tonight, so thank you!Greg & Ruth Swanson Maplewood MN
Where do u get trumpet echo polka from?
Great job!!!!
Thanks for explaining
Very nice, I learned something today
Ted! You could do a "TED Talk" on buttonbox - educating the populace one polka at a time! Ever consider doing a series of harmonika tutorials on RUclips?
Ted Talk, Ted. Get it?haa
That seems so difficult to play. A true Pro!
Ted that was cool the button box is THE squeeze box for zydeco and Norteno music just listen to Flaco Jimanez!
Awesome, can I share this video ?
Thanks. Very interesting.
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
nice a Slovenian song called Na Golici
Thanks Ted. You move the bellows so smoothly it's hard to imagine that in and out create different notes. Is it a matter of phrasing in the music as the chords change?
A si eu pudesse comprar uma dessa ela e perfeita, e linda parabéns
Wow..I can't even! !
Please of Jambolaya
Thank you for explaining the "Button Box" accordion. Now let's move on to the "Concertina". It is an accordian too isn't it?
If you run out of bellow travel and not ready for the other set, yikes. Everyone's gonna know something went wrong with bellows management.
Can you do this for a chromatic button accordion? Also would like to hear you play The American Wooden Shoe Polka
Beautiful! I play the piano accordion. My husband just got me a diatonic button box with the Heligonka horns. I’m lost in the fabulous new world. I’m not even sure what the keys are. I think Eb, Bb, Ab. Can you suggest some newbie resources? Thank you.
What books can you learn from for this instrument? No one ever recommends the books to go with these instruments. How are you suppose to learn this without practice books.
Fred Ziwich has a polka method book for these type of button accordions. You can email him: fredpolka@yahoo.com

I love those Helikon Reeds it sounds like a Tuba.
You played great na golici ( trumpet-echo) i didn’t that it is world known i am from slovenia it originates from here
Yes it is known worldwide
Oh No. You forget to mention that each row is a KEY. LOL.
That's a Steirische Harmonika or Steirische Diatonic Accordion. It's an Accordion with Helicon Bass reeds used in German Folkloric Music
Not only German,but alpine folk musicin general, even the song he plays is not german but slovenian.
@@insertnamehere8019 It even sounds amazing w/ Bajo Sexto
Impossible to listen to this and not smile.

Humans make some cool instruments
