Dan Carkner🎻<p>Last night I dreamt I was researching this old accordionist called Theodore Katz (fictional) and I found out he was still semi alive in cryo preservation after 100+ years😯So I bullied the facility to revive him and zoom call me so I could ask him questions. However he was very confused about the 2020s; he was befuddled and couldn't remember much about the 1920s. He didn't seem to know where he was. A little bit dark.</p><p>Oh and he had a neck tattoo.. </p><p><a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/accordions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accordions</span></a> <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/OddDreams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OddDreams</span></a></p>

Emily<p>Guess who just bought another bayan? 😅</p><p>(Blue is old, green is new)</p><p>This will be a pretty big step up from my current one, and since I've been playing for almost a year now and I know I'm going to stick with it I think it's safe to upgrade.</p><p>* Five treble rows instead of three. I learned on three rows of buttons, which is a good idea because those are the main rows for fingering and you won't pick up any bad habits if you only have those main rows. But the two extra rows give additional options for tough fingerings so it's nice to have them now that I know when it's appropriate to use them</p><p>* Six bass rows instead of five. My current bayan is the simpler folk instrument type, which doesn't have buttons for diminished chords. That actually limits the songs I'm able to play, so this is probably the most significant upgrade</p><p>* Five treble registers instead of two. My current bayan only has clarinet and wet violin registers. The new one has clarinet and wet violin still, but adds a 4' reed bank and so can do accordion, bandoneon, and bassoon registers</p><p>* Two bass registers instead of one. I'm actually not sure what the registers are, but there's only two reed banks so it's gotta be single and octave doubled</p><p>* An air button! My current bayan doesn't have one, so to close the bellows without making a sound you have to hold down as many buttons as possible while closing it slowly so there's not enough airflow to sound any of the reeds. Which is doable but very tedious lol</p><p>* A bellows strap. This just holds the bellows closed, which is nice because actuating the bellows when the valves are closed can damage the valves. Makes picking it up and transporting it a lot easier</p><p>* And finally: the buttonboard is flush with the back plate. My current bayan has the buttonboard in the middle of the treble case, so when I play with five fingers (and I'm not using my thumb to support the buttonboard) there's a lever action that causes the edge of the treble case to dig into my sternum. Which is both painful and also tilts the buttonboard into an uncomfortable position. I've gotten good enough that playing with five fingers is common so this is actually the biggest problem I have with my current instrument. I've tried all kinds of strap positions, postures, seat heights, and even bought expensive straps to try to work around this issue but I think it's just intrinsic to the design or my body type or something because I can NOT get it to not do that 😩</p><p>Anyway, my first bayan was about $400 shipped and this one's a bit over $800 (both are used but restored, QA'd, tuned, etc.). So still very much in the "beginner instrument" tier, but hopefully a big step up from what I've been working with!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bayan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bayan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/accordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accordion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/accordions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accordions</span></a></p>

Seventeenth Magpie<p>Feeling sad that all the cool <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Accordions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accordions</span></a> are button boxes and completely unaffordable 😔 my piano accordion was £156 used so I could afford it, and that’s because everyone’s grandpa had a piano accordion and now they’re dying and passing them on. Seems like button accordions have always been too prestigious for this to happen. Maybe one day I’ll be able to drop the big bucks on an instrument. Even basic melodeons are more than quite complex piano accordions on eBay.</p>

Be warned that mostly I talk about #accordions 
On the other side, I had a separate account where I talked about #disability and politics
But I haven’t done that here yet
My accordion's very slow journey from a neighbouring country continues. It is now with #UK #customs authorities. It was sent 2+ weeks ago from #France, and has spent almost all that time sitting being assessed in two countries for customs. Thanks #Brexit voters. #accordions #squeezebox #NotProjectFear #realityOfBrexit

@accordionnoir Have to admit I'm not a regular listener of your (or any) radio show but I just listened and wow such great stuff. Haven't listened to any of that Zydeco accordion music in almost 20 years I think. I've been missing out.
Part later in the episode about the efforts to preserve and digitize Mexican American music at UCLA was also interesting. had no idea.

Just watching this #accordion performance from the French makers #Maugein my new button accordion is coming from soon. And I am utterly agog at the bloke playing backing music. He has an electronic keyboard with button accordion - left and right - adapters to play on. Never seen anything like it! https://youtu.be/1fhkFQptE3U #CBA #FrenchMusic #music #Squeezebox #chromatic #buttonAccordion #accordions
