I am starting to research accordions. I am really surprised about how many different types there are. I think I want a chromatic button accordion because it’s versatile and the notes are closer together than a piano accordion.
I’m still confused about how many bass buttons I need and a little shocked by the cost, but I would like to purchase and start learning by the end of 2023 or in 2024.
@AccordionBruce Yeah, that is true. I have read that they are complicated to the point that you bring it to a professional to tune.

This guy has nice 🪗 videos and here’s his one on why there are so many bass buttons 😹

@AccordionBruce This was an informative video. I usually don’t mind weight so I would be fine with a 120 but a 96 bass sounds like it gives all the convenience you need.
I have an accordion shop about 3 miles away from me so my main choice is buying from him(Bugari 320 only) or looking for something refurbished online now. I will have to see what I’m more comfortable with.
I will check out more of his videos! Thanks for the boost and helpful resources!

They are startlingly expensive, which makes sense since they’re basically miniaturized mechanical analog computers. Very mid 1900s wearable tech
