in the interests of keeping this thread going I find the BC (and BCC# easier to play from the dots than the DG as the main seqence of notes on the C row stay the same (ish) whereas the D row is completely different from the G row as far as which is push & which is pull (on ;the DG box that is)AThe big limiter of t;he BC & its close relatives is t;he lack of viable bass which is why the BCC# usually has accordion ,same both way, bass.

some of us prefer so called wet tuning - is this something that could be usefully debated e.g. how much + and - % on the reeds turns wet into dry? or vice versa, what is standard hohner pokerwork tuning, paulo soprani, shand morino etc etc.

over to somebody else
