What are facts about the accordion?

Accordions are members of the wind instrument family and consist of three major components such as the treble mechanism, bass mechanism and bellows. The right hand side consists of keys or buttons while the bass section varies depending on whether its a button or piano accordion. Piano accordions have a Stradella bass mechanism for the right hand side and this is standard for all piano accordions. Button accordions, such as chromatic accordions have a free bass mechanism, and are widely played in French musette. Diatonic accordions can have an eight or twelve bass layout and play different notes depending on the bellows direction. The piano accordion was invented when Bouton of Paris first applied piano keys to the accordion.


What is the best practice for beginning accordion?

Before learning the accordion it would be advisable to consider what type of accordion you would like to play. There are many types available such as chromatic, diatonic and piano accordions. Once you know what type of accordion you would like to play you should then rent or purchase a beginners accordion. Larger accordions are not great for learning at the early stages as they are very heavy musical instruments and would cost more than a beginners accordion. Then try looking for an accordion tutor in your locality. Learning accordion music from a teacher makes the whole learning process a lot easier in comparison to learning the accordion by yourself. Accordion tutors will give you feedback on your good and bad points and will definitely guide you in the right direction. There are also many beginner accordion books available on-line with the best ones having an instructional DVD accompanying the book. When practising, try to focus on your mistakes as this will make you a better player.

The right side of a piano accordion, where you play the melody, is similar to a piano, except there are fewer keys and thus a shorter range. On the left side, where you play the bass and chords (accompaniment, the notes are arranged in fifths, and the system is very different from the piano keyboard. On a button accordion the right (melody) side is not similar to a piano keyboard. A piano player will quite easily be able to play the right (melody) side of a piano accordion, but the left side will require additional practice. A button accordion is a completely different system, and the piano player will have no advantage with regards to technique.

The lightest piano accordions available are the beginner accordions and are very useful when learning to play the piano accordion at the beginning. The Stradella bass system consists of 12 buttons providing an easy accompaniment for the treble section. I honestly don't think that there is a piano accordion that weighs as light as six pounds but beginner accordions would be the best accordions to buy especially if you are a beginner.
