Whoa, that was probably the most in-depth video I’ve ever seen on the types of accordions, and I’ve seen plenty! Great video!

This Woman is an inspiration! Such passion and knowledge and skill in delivering the information!

Working diligently to master the Cajun version, of which I love the sound of. Thank you for the informative video.

Hello Patricia. Did you perform in the accordion festival in Chemainus, BC (Canada) several years ago? I did too and just came across this video today quite by surprise. I am now living in France and delightedly performing as a street musician in the local squares of my adopted new home and frequently playing at tango events throughout Europe. Who would have thought that a young boy taking up accordion would reap such rewards? I love sharing the excitement of the accordion with those passers-by that stop to listen... especially children who are often bewildered by this strange (to them) instrument. Great and informative video. Thanks, Roland G

Never knew that there were so many types of accordions. Thanks ma'am for enlightening me on this subject.🎉🎉🎉

The variety of accordions is very interesting, and the diatonic accordions have many various types. I seen in the Basque region of Spain they use the “trikitixa, ” a two-row diatonic accordion that uses a bisonoric treble and a unisonoric bass (many specially made by Zero Sette in Italy). In Portugal, they use three-row diatonic accordions that are very wet tuned (and some have four middle reeds). Also, they refer to them as “concertinas, ” so I’m not sure what the Portuguese would call the actual Anglo, English, duet, or German concertinas. Also, Renato Borghetti, an accordion player from southern Brazil, played an accordion that looks like a two-row diatonic with a Stradella bass system.

There is one accordion you may or may not know .
Is the Serbian accordion with 6 rows of buttons . It basically is a double 3 row Russian with not a heavy bass like a bayan . Very useful for playing in any key . A wonderful idea .
They are even better with squeezed reeds . Very sensitive.
Regards

What a fantastic presentation, Patricia really knows her stuff!

I recently bought a Bayan that was made in 1940 in Russia. Shipping from Ukraine wasn't the best, so I had to learn how to repair/restore it as well. While a wondaful journey, it was a struggle to get all buttons (and pins inside) working. I'm trying ton learn to play it, I'll get there hopefully. I can sing, so I know what notes I should be hitting, there's just a lot going on. Cheers! Wish me luck.

Amazing video! Ive spent the last 8-9 years playing the accordion, and have been loving it. My first accordion was a chromatic button accordion, now I play a 120 base piano accordion and continue to get lessons for it weekly. Always enjoy playing it out in my local park as a fun pass time, but also to make others happy as Im the only player in my local area.

[corrienosov]

This was fun! I have several types of accordions -- diatonic, Garmoshka, chromatic, but only play the piano accordion. Someday I'll try the others! :)

[UralGoose]

What a great video! I'm from Russia and it's nice to hear about bayan and garmon (harmonica) here. Hovewer, there was known a lot of different tipes of harmonicas in Russia, especially before 1940-s (starting of factory making instruments made small business decrease). There is few types: garmoshka (in video), talyanka (diatonic), saratov garmon (diatonic with bells), minorka (also diatonic), so-called Vena's garmon (look like ordinary garmon, but diatonic), and many types of small nation's garmoshkas (from Osetia, Azerbaidjan, Adigea, Tatarstan)... If anyone want to know about rare garmons, I can answer

[MenelionFR]

Your pronunciation of "Garmoshka" is perfect, and the mention of Krokodil Gena was definitely an unexpected surprise :)

[walterluikey]

My origional accordion was a piano accordion.As i get older(just passed 86)i just bought a chromatic button accordion, only to learn, no one teaches this style of instrument here in the USA, so I am on my own when it comes to mastering the instrument I now own.It will be more difficult than I anticipated, but with determination, I will learn to play both types of accordions equally as well.

[alessandrorossi]

Wow amazing video, thanks for all the details!

[BruïnGebakken]

It's one thing to be musically talented and gifted. It's something else to be musically smart and pretty. Yet, it's a blessing to have a synchronized combination of all. You have that unique and rare package :-)

In 1960 I received a 32 bass piano accordion from a relative in Italy. It is a Paolo Soprani made by G. Quaglia. I've played it on and off over the last 60 years. Still in great condition. I play mostly by ear but your lessons are really eye opening. You give out a lot of info but in a very teachable way. Thank you so much for your videos. Ciro DiCristo

A very informative video. The background music was a bit of a distraction however. Good to see what Piazzolla played.

[ouizevelek]

Grate video..
The bass accordion was the big surprise!
I am a newbie and I own a small piano accordion from Italy. I like to play old Greek songs as well as Tarantellas and odd time Balkan music.
I wish to own a diatonic accordion for Peruvian and Colombian Cumbia style. I wish one day to feel the vibrations of the bass accordion in my chest. 😊
