"it takes practise and a little fight against its' initial tendency to chop the notes"

"English concertinsa are defintiely the easy one if your aim is drones rather than bounce."


AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! again!

The INSTRUMENT has nothing to do with it.

The PLAYER...

Like the car doesn't drive fast and dangerously, it's the nut that holds the steering wheel....


If when YOU play an instrument, you get a 'bounce', then YOU are doing it!!!!!

I DON'T GET A BOUNCE! (unless I want to!)

But, then I had years of strict keyboard tuition on all sorts of keyboard instruments, including pipe organ (which CAN be made to 'bounce' quite nicely!) BEFORE picking up a Piano Accordion.

As I repeat, those who can only play any instrument 'with a bounce' simply DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY "LEGATO" !!!! - a skill 'hammered in' to all normal keyboard students who 'learn properly'!!! :-)

:-P
