Cool. So, uhh, what do you play? Polka? Bach?

How hard is it to learn? Is it an unfriendly instrument for beginners (like violin or the trumpet for example)?

How much pussy does that thing get you

i play bach, scarlatti, contemporary music, popular music, pop, latin jazz

it's unfriendly at the start since you have to both control the bellows and play with your left hand

it got me my current gf

Ever played a concertina? Any idea how they compare to accordions in terms of overall difficulty?

no haven't played it. My assumption is that it's more similar to a bandoneon for the fact that both parts of the instrument move. I wouldn't say it's more difficult

a little to much noise honestly

says the shitposter

last bump

a family member recently picked me up an elka concorde 902 in working condition, do you have any experience with this weird accordion/ synth hybrid? im hoping it will be easy to record using midi via usb from my desktop, also im not sure but i think it may be fully analog?

i'm sorry but i have no experience with not analog instrument

What's the difference between the accordeon with buttons and the one with keys? Which one is it better? From the few accordeonist I've seen, the ones that seem to know what they are doing use the buttoned one

can you do this?:

youtube.com/watch?v=E3Pv4c4Qz9w

no since i'm not a gypsy

it's just a different way of organizing the keys, there is no actual "better" system in itself.
There's only one kind of piano accordion and two with buttons, the "italian system" and "russian bayan" with completely different way of ordering sounds

I already play keyboards, is it that hard to get into an accordeon?

you have an advantage but it's clearly not the same since the accordion keyboard has different weight and you have to manage the bellows

Are you up to taking requests? Can you play Tarkus? I'm curious how it would sound on an accordion

ok but only if you post sheets

sheetmusic.cc/piano/sheets/5802/Emerson_Lake_and_Palmer_Tarkus.html

sheetmusic.cc/piano/sheets/5802/Emerson_Lake_and_Palmer_Tarkus.html
I've got them from here, just click on download sheet and only play until Stones of Years (unless you want to do the whole song then do up to Aquatarkus).

Bamp
