Comments: Thanks for a great page! I just bought my first accordion tonight on the spur of the moment (after having an anglo concertina for a couple of weeks). I already play piano, so it's a piano keyboard. It also has 120 buttons and I was searching the net for a button chart. You've got the only button chart I could find. I printed it so thanks to you, I can start playing right away tomorrow! Thanks again! Ken Burk kbburk@voicenet.com

Comments: I've been playing the accordian for the last 9 years; I grew up on many years of piano lessons but found in college that I didn't have access to the piano, so I found a used accordian. It's the best relaxation and escape around! I lived in Hannover, Germany as a child and the sound is so nostalgic! I will print out some of your music and give it a try; I can always enjoy some new tunes. Now my children, ages 4 and 7, are interested in learning but my accordian is just too big and heavy. Any suggestions for a brand and size that would work for kids, and that I could find in the US? Like a fool, I was in Europe last summer but never took time to shop while I was over there.

Looking at your fingering diagrams has helped me to make up my mind - I can't wait to get my hands on one! Do you have any suggestions for a quite small model? Thank you for taking the trouble to create this very informative Web site and best wishes from the Pacific coast of Canada.

Comments: I congratulate you on your page and your help to the accordion world. I have been playing the accordion since I was four years old, I could say that all my life. I have given concerts everywhere, but I had never something like this. It is a good way to keep in touch with all accordion lovers. I am open to all kinds of styles, but I am specialized at pasodoble, latin, musette and tango. I play both accordions, button and piano. Good luck and kind regards from Granada, Spain.

I gave up the accordion many years ago to play early keyboard instruments, and just the other day bought a used Titano 4/5 reed accordion. It's action is a bit stiff and I'm a bit rusty, but I'm loving every moment of playing again!

Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my time in your page. I have been playing the piano-accordion since the age of 5. I took lessons, and competed in regional and national contests until I was about 17. I wanted to major in music in college, and to teach, afterwards, but I had to do it as a voice major. Now, some 25 years later, I no longer teach for a living, but I'm very active in community theater, and in the local music scene. I hadn't played my Titano in many years, until someone asked if I could play the accordion part in "Fiddler On the Roof" on a synthesizer. I told them "why not the real thing?" Since then, I have made an effort to include playing the accordion in the many things I do. I have rediscovered the love I had as a child, and I have encouraged my own children to play it as well.

Comments: Hey Hans! Jag kan tala lite svenska... I lived in Oskarshamn for a year back in 1980. I play a 48 bass piano accordian although I am becoming increasingly curious about chromatic and diatonic ones. I picked up the accordian a couple years ago-- I played many years of piano and found it wasn't easy to tote. Beside, I like doing things that are unpopular(!) Now the accordian is gaining in popularity. Drat!!My 6-year-old niece loves it and begs for lessons. She has a 12-bass I got her for Christmas. Her parents don't even complain! My interest in music is mostly the Scandinavian tunes and I have really enjoyed your pieces, especially "Flangpolka" and "Amanda". I'd like to learn the chromatic but who knows where to find one?? Thanks for your info and music. Hope to get back to Sverige someday. Kathy

Comments: I just tried the Interent for the first time over the Christmas holidays, and thought that it might be interesting to see how much accordion related activity there is ... I am pleasantly surprised as I have 're-discovered' the accordion. I started at the age of 5, but stopped playing in my teens, and took up synthesizers. I seem to have come to my senses however, and am starting to play again more regularly. Some projects for me are finishing my MIDI conversion of my IORIO accorgan, and learning to play the diatonic accordion (Corso) that I purchased last year. I look forward to meeting new friends on the Net, and wish you a safe & prosperous 1997.

Comments: I am 40 years old and just started playing the accordion. My father (now 69 years) have played it since he was 7, so I have lived with the sound of it for a long time (he played for hours/day, still does) but as a youngster, I did not appreciate the sound or the tunes from it. Deep Purple/ Led Zeppelin was hard to combine whith accordion. But hey, you get older and things changes!! My father got 2 CA:s (BUGARI and a BORSINI NOSTALGIC), and I borrowed the later one, which is such a beautiful piece, so you just want to learn how to play it! Nowdays I think accordion is great, My son (3 year)just love hard rock........ Great website!!!
