OK, Here's what I will now call Version 2. I have run out of steam, and it's nearly the Holidays - so this should hold you till 2004!

They say if you spend 20 mins a day 5 days a week for three months studying a subject then you are an expert - on that basis I definitely qualify, but I am sure there are others with much more time on the ground (instrument) than me - I have only been playing the P/A for about 4 years, but have been a Muso since the mid 1950's.

Many small misleading statements due to the subtleties of the English Language have been corrected - if you notice any errors obvious to you, then please let me know. Thanks very much to "PDG" for our discussion on Tremolo/Vibrato - I had to do some real research in order to play "Humpty Dumpty" - see the Vibrato thread.

I really would like any positive or negative feedback from those who have been playing the Piano Accordion for many more years - and any from those players of other instruments referred to if I have made wrong assumptions about those instruments.

Thanks to Jeff for the PermaThread™ Status, and for the "Edit Button"!
