Interested in self instruction for the button accordion see my message in Junior accordion thread. I do believe this will be all you will need to get started. Most Newfoundland musicians basically play the trebel side and eliminate the bass. I believe you will be a better musician if you learn to play the instrument completely. Especially for solo playing. I am in Nova Scotia and have known many Newfoundland musicians. Leave me an email address and I will talk to you one on one to help you with problems.
