Aha..That explains why the bellows weren't always moved. Thanks for that bit of info. I started on accordion myself before getting into organ. My parents made me do it. Roland has an electric accordion out now. That's one thing about Roland, they think of things to do. I always admired guys like Myron Floren or anyone who could do the bass and the keys at the same time while breathing. But organ, sustaining all by itself, made all the difference in the world.

I'll confess I actually play real accordion, sometimes wished I didn't, but have made pretty good money doing it as everyone digs the unique sound, but there's one band I'm in that I begged
to not have to play it. I actually have a torn rotator cuff because my left arm has worked so hard all these years, and in my older age finding a lust for keys like I had when I started, but anyway.
