Great video! I have a Hohner Panther 3 row (C,F,G) on order - should be here tomorrow. Now have a better idea how each row is laid out and how scales work. I'm ready to rock!! I did have a piano accordion but soon tired of the 25 pound monster.
Excellent basic lesson...One I haven't found elsewhere. I have decided a D/G would work best for me...common key for a tenor voice-lots of tunes in those keys...but a third half row would add some extra notes? More about a third row? thanks
Great basic video. I have a Hohner Erica in C/F here that I inherited. I can make some sense out where to start the scale now on a button accordeon such as these. Do you give lessons by chance?
I haven't played a three row, but it should. There is no reason why not, if it's a full three row. I have a 2.5 row accordion, it wouldn't work on that because the half row is just a collection of extra notes, to augment the other two. But a full three row, yes, it should work the same. You will no if it works, because you will be able to play a full scale, just as on the other two rows.
Great video but how can you tell the note is D and on the inside row how can you tell the note is G.? Is it because you are familiar with both sounds or is there a way to recognize?
So one would have to learn an accordion melodeon concertina and diatonic and whatever keys theyre made in, separately? Someone wouldnt necessarily be able to pick one up and know a song unless they could play by ear and hash it out first????? Eeeesh complicated family of instruments for being as old as they are.
It's not as bad as that. If you picked up a D/G, you could use the same fingering for a song as a C/F or an A/D. The song would just be played in a different key. But you couldn't do that with a B/C or a C/C#. If the interval between the two rows is the same, then you can play both, but in a different key.
Why don't you use the real name of the notes (Do, Re, Mi...) instead of those letters that are confusing (C, D...)? And, why does your letter system doesn't start on the first note (Do), but starts on the sixth note (La)?
Nice. Have a warm hug from Colombia, land of diatonic accordions!
Thank you for that very clear information. I now know the key of my melodeon ! Thanks again.
Very nice. Thank you from Rochester, NY

Use an electronic tuner. There are phone apps that can do it now for free.
