Accordion

it was popular.... it is popular in other country's too!!!

The word accordian is taken from the German word 'Akkordian', which is taken from the German word 'Akkord'. 'Akkord' is the same word as our word 'Accord'.

'Akkord' means musical chords or being in tune.

A GCF accordion is a type of button accordion. What GCF means is that on the right hand side of the accordion (where you play the melody line) there should be three rows of buttons. One row plays notes in the key of G, one in the key of C, and one in the key of F. This means that you can play songs that are in those three keys. To understand what I mean by "keys," you need to know a little bit about music theory. Think about it as if you were playing three different guitar chords, G, C, and F. Well, for the GCF accordion it is the same except with buttons to press instead of strings.

There are a few factors to consider when figuring out how much your accordion is worth with age, size, model and playing condition being the most important. Accordions that are over ten years old will not be worth a lot of money to you since they are going to require some repair work which will have to be carried out by a professional accordion repairer. If this is the case you will then lose a lot of money repairing your musical instrument as the accordion reeds will need tuning as in the majority of cases. Also, storage conditions will play an important role in determining how much your accordion is worth. If it is left in a cold, damp place for a long time it may cause the buttons to stick or reeds to rust thus requiring repair. Accordions over ten years old will probably be worth less than two hundred dollars as this is the most common pattern that I have observed on eBay. Size will play a significant role as well in determining an accordions value with professional full sized instruments commanding a higher price in comparison to beginner instruments.

The scales are the same on all instruments, as they are defined in terms of notes. A C major scale will contain the same notes no matter which instrument you play.

The way to play the scales various from instrument to instrument, as each will require a different technique.

There are hundreds of different scales, with each their combination of notes. Most scales have 7 notes, but others have 5, 6, or 8 - and only one scale have 12 notes. You can even make up your own scales with which ever notes you want. To speak of "the scales" as such is quite an extensive subject, and I would suggest to start by learning one scale at a time instead - for instance the C major scale.

The C major scale on the piano accordion is the white keys played from C to C an octave higher: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Use you thumb on the C, your index finger on D and the middle finger on E. To play F take your thumb and slide it under your middle finger (which is positioned on E) up to F. Now continue upwards with your index, middle and ring finger. The final note (C) can be played either with your little finger (if you plan on playing back down again) or your thumb sliding under your fourth finger the same way as when you played F (if you plan on continuing upwards).

Congratulations! - You just learned your first scale on the accordion!

Perhaps you are thinking of the concertina. While there were versions of the concertina in Germany, we are not entirely sure who invented them or when. However, we do know that a popular version of the concertina was developed in England by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1829.

In the Old Testament people were under the old law. They had burnt offerings (Genesis 8:20) and all sorts of other laws that were to be fulfilled in order to be fulfilling the word of God. Today we live under the new law. The New Testament. The old law was nailed to the cross Colossians 2:14 We are to sing and make melody in our heart, not from a instrument. In the book of Matthew chapter 26 verse 30 it speaks of the disciples singing a hymn, not coming together to play songs or instruments. Paul wrote in 1Corinthians 11:1 "Imitate me ,just as I also imitate Christ. == == The purpose of Christian music is to praise the Lord. Here is one of many scriptures referring to a musical instrument. Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. Psalm 33:2-3 Many instruments were used in worship in the temple in Jerusalem by the Jews along with singers. Various instruments are mentioned in the final Psalm,150: (Psalm 150:1-6) 150 Praise Jah, YOU people! Praise God in his holy place. Praise him in the expanse of his strength. 2 Praise him for his works of mightiness. Praise him according to the abundance of his greatness. 3 Praise him with the blowing of the horn. Praise him with the stringed instrument and the harp. 4 Praise him with the tambourine and the circle dance. Praise him with strings and the pipe. 5 Praise him with the cymbals of melodious sound. Praise him with the clashing cymbals. 6 Every breathing thing-let it praise Jah. Praise Jah, YOU people! Later instrumental music is certainly implied for Christians at Eph 5:18,19 (Ephesians 5:18-20) 18 ..., but keep getting filled with spirit, 19 speaking to yourselves with psalms and praises to God and spiritual songs, singing and accompanying yourselves with music in YOUR hearts to Jehovah, 20 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks . . . Thus musical instruments had a place in both Christian and pre-Christian worship.

I've been researching old Soprani Inc. accordions, which seem to have been sold in America in the 1930's, likely made in Italy. The answer to your question completely depends on the condition of your accordion. If it is in perfect condition cosmetically on the outside, that doesn't mean it is worth anything to an accordion collector who wishes to play it. Old accordions are typically in need of a great deal of work on the inside to make them reliably playable and in tune. If there is any rust on the reeds, the instrument is likely worth very little, as rust is like cancer and renders the reeds useless. Rust on reeds cannot be properly removed. The other two expensive issues are the wax inside, which typically breaks down over time, and reed tuning. Unless the instrument has been waxed in the last few years and tuned, it will cost a minimum of $1500-$2500 to re-wax and tune. If, however, the instrument is cosmetically nearly perfect, and the interior looks clean and rust-free, collectors may wish to purchase it and restore it. In that case, it may be worth $200-$600.

Sounds like you have a BAR rifle, but not certain. More information would be needed such as model and condition. You can use the link below to look up your guns value in the Blue Book of Gun Values.

I collect Lowrey organs & have 14. I live in the UK & have bought all off Ebay. The least I paid was £0.99 (99 pence) for a 1970 GAK (Citation Golden Aniversary). The most I have paid was £34 for a G395 digital model with 61 note keyboards.

Single spoon probably somewhere between 10 - 20 US dollars on European market, I can't tell about US. Just to make things more clear: Roneusil is not the brand of the company that produced the spoon but it's sort of registrated trademark of the material that spoon is made of. Originally it had been used by Rochling factory as a shortcut of "Rochling Neusilber", where "neusilber" means literally "new silver", an alloy which looks very much like silver but contains none of it, today such alloy is generally called alpacca (see Wikipedia for more info). As the trademark laws were not so sophisticated that days, this "trademark" describing material can be found on products from different German manufacturers from that period (roughly estimated, from 1910).

The button accordion was invented in 1829 by Cyril Damien while the piano accordion was invented in 1852 by French accordion maker Bouton.

You don't "break in" an accordion. Chances are if your accordion is not working it is already broken

A piano accordion has as mall piano keybored on the side of it whereas an normal accordion does not. I hope this helped!

Accordian shutters are the strongest because they are permanently attached to the walls of the home and can provide protection during hurricane. The accordian shutters are also known as folding shutters.

I have black one Titano Palmer Huges Grand. An Italian expert at the "Carrefour Mondial de l'accordéon" at Montmagny on Québec Canada evaluate mine and say to me 3 000 $. Soon, I

will sell mine for 1 500 $ because I am playing button accordion.

Determining how much your accordion is worth basically boils down to a few factors such as size, playing condition, age and model. Playing condition ties in with the age of your accordion as the older the accordion the less its worth. It will also depend on what conditions the accordion was stored in because if there wasn't proper care taken in storing this musical instrument such as extreme heat or cold then it would be damaged requiring repair which will lower the value of your instrument. Size is another factor since beginner accordions, button or piano accordions, are smaller accordions to help beginners learn this musical instrument. Professional full sized instruments will obviously command a higher price in comparison to beginner accordions.

Accordions do not have strings but are members of the wind instrument family. They produce sound when air is passed through reeds producing sound. These musical instruments consist of several components such as treble and bass keyboards, reed plates, piano keys or buttons, couplers as well as bellows. The right-hand side of your accordion is made up of several components with the keys or buttons accounting for up to eighty per cent of the treble keyboard. The main components of the treble keyboard include aluminium, plastic, steel, wool, felt, buttons or keys and springs. Treble reeds are fixed onto reed plates by one rivet where bass reeds on the other hand are attached onto reed plates by two rivets of different sizes. Accordion reeds are made of highly tempered steel providing greater flexibility. If these reeds were made of softer steel they would rust in contact with moisture.
