As a new-be this has been a great discussion for me. Excuse me for this but I am not playing Cajun music. Trying to play other types of music on this box is very difficult. Always running out of air, one way or another. For example, 'Immigrant Eyes ' by Steve Earl, a tune great for accordion, You really have to study where you can catch a breath, and make it smooth.
And that air button needs to be faster. Has anyone messed with this?
You players have a real advantage that brings the soul of your instrument out because you are using the instrument to write your music.
Also, I bet as you learn a tune you are also placeing the bellows position and not even thinking about that part of the learning. Enough of this, Jerry
