Re: Three row diatonic vs Cajun accordion

I think the tuning may be different. The Triple row would be in
equal temperment and the Cajun in an alternate tuning. That may
make some diffrence in trying to get that Cajun sound.

What do others think?.... Ed

Re: Re: Three row diatonic vs Cajun accordion

The triple row needs to sound right over a larger range of keys than a single row. So, yes, tuning will be different. Its similar, but not as bad, as trying to get a cajun sound out of a piano accordion.
