Re: Re: For you triple row owners, have you had them dry-tuned?
Well that make sense, I don't know what I was thinking when I ask that question. Are you going to play at Pappa's tonight? If it don't storm too bad I may try to stop by on my way to the Red Light. Bruce
Re: For you triple row owners, have you had them dry-tuned?
Like Larry says, any two reed instrument will never sound Cajun, but I'd go farther than that and say that any triple row or piano accordion, regardless of number of reeds or how it is tuned will never sound Cajun.
Having said that, I will add that I have an old Hohner triple row that I bought from Glenn. One of the things about it was that he had it re-tuned to be more dry. It sounds great! I really prefer that kind of dry tuning on a triple row.
Re: Re: For you triple row owners, have you had them dry-tuned?
There is a great trend towards dry tuning among the British crowd who play 2 rows, 2 1/2 rows, 3 rows etc. I get the impression it is largely a result of Cajun influences, though it could be a reaction against the strong musette the French like.
