Re: Which Fiddle Tuning is Best For the C Accordion

When I play with a bflat I just use my tuned down fiddle (c accordion tuning) Our band usually doesn't play a lot using a bflat.
When I first started playing Cajun music years ago I didn't know about tuning down so I learned on a standard tuned fiddle. Plus It's a hassle to tune down for a couple of songs during a gig to play in bflat.

Re: Which Fiddle Tuning is Best For the C Accordion

I suppose it depends on your skill level. As a beginner, I would simply tune down one note. Noting wrong with simple.
