I sometimes wish my handmades had that Irish accordion fingerboard groove as well.
I got too used to playing without an arm strap though, something that is causing my carpal tunnel to flare up.... Problem is, when I use an arm strap at all I have to hold the accordion closer to my body, which causes the spasms in my abdominal muscles to freak out. I have MS.... doesn't mix well with accordions. Had to put down the piano accordion until this spasms heals (I pray it does anyway)
It's not really about it sliding, I'm just thinking it would take less strength in my hands to hold the thing. My hands aren't what they used to be after a recent flare up.
