single row with accidentals

Anyone ever played one of these? I've only heard it via youtube videos. Seems to be good for Quebecois tunes, in particular.

Calrify what you mean, please. Such as a D box with F natural and C natural, or a C box with F# or Bflat?

PS realize that this machine isn't Cajun or Just tuned, which makes a one row sound so nice for Cajun music and more ....

Re: single row with accidentals

I've been pretty fascinated with that accordion for a long time. I traded emails with the owner of one of these a while back, he told me how it's laid out, and I've since forgotten, but I do know that there are a couple buttons that open the same valves as a couple other buttons

Re: single row with accidentals

It is interesting. I'm wondering how much the design is based on other melodeons with an accidental row.

For me, going from a piano-keyboard accordion to a single-row diatonic is enough of a challenge.
