Subject: Accordian sites for beginers? From: Mike Ireland Date: 06 Mar 99 - 07:42 AM Hi. Would any of the large numbers of mudcat users out there know of any sites that would help someone hoping to learn the accordian. I've picked up a very old Hohner accordian, square in shape with a single row of buttons either side and a lovely tone. I was trying searches on the net and I didn't have a lot of success. Thanks Mike |

Subject: RE: Accordian sites for beginers From: Jo Taylor Date: 06 Mar 99 - 06:26 PM ....otherwise known as a melodeon. If you do a search on Google you will score at least 967 hits! Quite a few refer to a variety of harmonium, and the enticingly named 'melodeon home page' is in Japanese - but there are loads of goodies. Start here - HOBGOBLIN or - here and here for some books. Oh and here . Jo |

Subject: RE: Accordian sites for beginers From: Jo Taylor Date: 06 Mar 99 - 06:31 PM Nope, that's very odd, the mudcat address infiltrated the link. Copy this instead: www.mustrad.u-net.com/basic.htm Jo (what happened, Joe??) |
Subject: RE: Accordian sites for beginers From: Jo Taylor Date: 06 Mar 99 - 06:33 PM Also try spelling accordion with an o, not an a! Or accordeon, the French way. Jo |
Subject: RE: Accordian sites for beginers From: bill\sables Date: 06 Mar 99 - 07:57 PM Mike I have the accordian player from my band here and he suggests that you search for Reed world , also roots world Also check out Maria Kalanimi as she is not only a great melodion player she is also the TOP Finnish button accodian player!!! |
Subject: RE: Accordian sites for beginers From: gargoyle Date: 07 Mar 99 - 01:00 PM A web page with good links may be found at: Those Darn Accordians
It measures up to the "eccentrict stereotype" and has a good time with it.
My recommendaton for a "button box" is to spend three hours simply working a song out by ear, any song, ....once you have that done...you will have the avenue to a plethora of tunes. Have FUN!!! |
Subject: RE: Accordian sites for beginers From: Mike Ireland Date: 07 Mar 99 - 02:44 PM Boy it's great to see a system work well. Many thanks to those above (in the replies I mean :-) ) for all your information I've now got lots to play with, and to keep my phone bill high. Ta Mike |
