MMLH on "some" but not all one row instruments..
As described.. common to Cajun instruments but some builders do alter that arrangement...specifically for enhanced airflow..and a different sound than "Cajun"

Re: Re: Re: Re: reed set up in a 4 stop one row?

I think the physical arrangement is as Larry says, for most cajun boxes. The progressive octave arrangement is LMMH.

Re: Re: reed set up in a 4 stop one row?

I know that on my Hohner it is LMMH (back to front)
I assumed Cajun accordions were set up the same.
