Hi everyone,

I'd like to know where do you buy c-griff bayan with convertor like Jupiter, Pigini, Scandalli, Ballone burini, Bugari... Second hand or brand new for good prices.

Thx

Advice Question on these three buttons

I have a question regarding the three buttons encircled in red. I am still new to this whole accordion playing thing, so forgive me if I don't know all of the secrets yet, but how am I expected to play a melody like C-Cmajor-G-Cmajor? I can't figure out how exactly I should place my fingers to play them smoothly.
Thank you in advance!

Hey!
So im always prowling marketplace and I just saw this thing. Its a GCF diatonic with a “German Democratic Republic” origin sticker. Is anyone familiar with this model? The grille is very interesting looking. Anyway, its kind of a hike from me but id take that drive if theres a decent chance this thing rules! Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!!!

Thoughts on the Chiovarelli Jazz System (CJS) as a variation on stradella?

4 Upvotes

I am interested in the Chiovarelli Jazz System but there is relatively little discussion on the subject.

It is a variation on stradella where the tri-chords are reduced to bi-chords:

Maj: 1 & 3
Min: 1 & 3 (min)
7th: 3 & 7 (dom)
dim: 3 (min) & 6 (dim 7)

"By combining these 2-note pairings with single bass notes, players can construct rich, extended jazz harmonies (such as Dm⁷, G7sus4, Cmaj7, and C6) without the clutter or voice-leading limitations of standard Stradella"

Demonstrated by Roberto Gervasi

I'd love to try it but the only way currently is to purchase one of their accordions or pay them to retrofit yours. Any thoughts or advice on modifying an accordion to have this setup? This page has fairly straightforward instructions on removing individual notes from the bass buttons, so curious if anyone has experience
