Good Luck!

I used to play one (a Hohner Gaelic IV) but gave up when I discovered I could make enough noise in as many keys as I needed with a melodeon, and without having to carry so much weight about. I do miss the fully chromatic system sometimes though, and all the stuff you can do on the bass buttons. I've made the transition from piano accordion to B/C/C# to D/G to 1-row!!! (I still play D/G mainly, and a new 2+1/2 row)

Have you see John Kirkpatrick's ? He's got some info on how to play the button accordion. Basically the systems a complete mess and you just have to learn each keay individually, but that's no different from most other instruments really..

The intriguing thing is that such a strange system is/was the choice of two of the greatest players - Jimmy Shand and JK.
