Re: Best Accordion Tuning That Inspires The Player
Ok folks.....here we go.
Based on my experience with accordions, accordion makers, accordion tuning, and accordion player awareness and skill, you basically have 3 types of Cajun Accordions:
1. The student model accordion: stunts your learning and playing progress and permanently ruins your muscle memory skills. It perplexes your mind and causes you to judge your own choice making skills, discourages playing, and immediately or gradually makes you feel regret for having bought said accordion and finally, it causes you to want to sell it and look for another or "TRY" to have a better one built. AKA, A Dud, A Lemon, a Hohner Ariette.
2. The mediocre accordion: it inspires you because it has a Cajun or Italian Brand Name, it's playability, sound, and overall looks are pleasing enough to inspire you to play better, but over all, it is an NS Special. (A Nothing Special Special). It is the kind of Cajun Accordion that makes you save up some money so's that you can go to one of the BIG 3 Cajun Accordion Makers and attempt or hope that you can have a better one built.
3. The Accordion that practically plays by itself, while you're just holding it. The Accordion that you would never sell, the one that you show to everyone, but seldom or reluctantly:grimacing: let anyone else play on. The accordion that you leave in your Death Will to the most special person in your life that you think deserves it. The accordion that causes other players to go to the Big 3 Accordion Makers or whatever obscure builder built that accordion and ask all kinds of questions trying to replicate this perfect accordion that they heard being played or maybe were given the chance to play on just once for a few minutes. The kind of accordion that makes Accordion Builders think that you are a "DIFFICULT CUSTOMER" because you keep asking them too many dam questions about their craft that you have no business asking.
