Thread Name: button and piano accordeon same player
Subject: button and piano accordeon same player
I am presently playing an old Bayan, a russian chromatic button accordeon (5 rows Bass).

If I should buy a Paino-accordion, would I then have:

- Any help from what I have learned playing the button accordion

- Any extra trouble because of that

The Bayan is in itself quite a wonderful instrument but it is very old and has russian buttons and tha Bass is very loud and tends to drench the melody. I'll not give it up as long as it works but there is quite a lot of music for which it is non really suitable.
