![]() I would have asked a c-griff teacher if one had been available locally, but none was to be found. I considered the so called British Chromatic Accordion, as championed by the late Sir Jimmy Shand, as this is closer to the bisonoric diatonic accordion, but such instruments make rocking horse faeces look like a public health emergency. I chose the C-system as it appeared to involve a similar anatomical position of the right wrist and hand to that used on the diatonic accordion. I started with the tutors I mentioned and found little difficulty with the right hand keyboard, but I found myself struggling with the stradella keyboard. I have taught myself to play guitar, banjo, mandolin, and diatonic accordion I fully intended to do the same with the chromatic button accordion (cba). I understand your arguments, indeed, I considered them before I embarked on the purchase of an instrument. Should I just pick and choose those which I find most comfortable, or is there some unifying rule? Sadly, at 71, my right hand is a little less agile than it was fifty years ago.Ĭlick to expand.Thank you for your swift response, Stephen. Admittedly there are, unsurprisingly, some areas of agreement, but certainly for the scales of C, F, & G major which I am concentrating on just now, there are substantial differences. Each book prescribes different fingering. They are: Anzaghi, Lucien & Richard Galliano, and Manu Maugain. So I set about reviewing the recommendations in my three books. At my last lesson my teacher picked me up on this and advised me to use the same fingering every time. ![]() I sort of worked out my own fingering for scales, which I tended to vary with each attempt. I have several tutorial books, and a very good teacher who, however plays the other keyboard, B-griff. I am learning a few easy pieces, and attempting to master scales. I am now a few weeks in to getting to grips with the chromatic button accordion. ![]()
