Subject:Re: [OT] Accordion Suggestions

I forgot to mention that to help you out on larger models, the E bass has a bump on it. On 120 bass models, above E flat, and below F sharp, it just repeats itself, this is so you get all 12 chords in a chromatic scale without having to jump all the way to the other end. Also keep in mind that 48 bass models (of which Roland does not make), cut you off at E below middle C, and b flat above middle C on the bass. you still get the 4 chord variations, and the counter bass row. BTW, as to not offend enyone on the list, if anyone has any other accordion questions, I'll be glad to answer in a private email off list, I've been playing the damned thing for 2 years less than I've played keys(30 years). I say damned as my left arm hates the instrument, but I torture myself for the money.
