ACCORDION PRICE FULL

Full 3 reed musette: 3 middle octave reeds tuned apart from one another to produce a degree of ‘wetness’ or ‘tremolo’.The main specifications shared between these accordions include: Higher quality reeds will give you a louder, richer, brighter sound compared to the lower quality reeds.

I believe some cheaper brands use lesser quality reeds than either of those, which you may as well avoid. These accordions are typically cheaper as they do not feature cassotto, and often feature high quality Tipo-a-mano reeds instead of the more expensive and higher quality A-mano reeds. Most alpine accordion brands offer these types of accordions in their non-casotto variants, often using the naming convention of MH (musette and helikon). Piano accordions which emulate the steirische harmonika sound feature a 3 reed musette tuning and helikon basses. If you do, here’s what you will need to look for. On the other hand you may prefer one over the other, as many do. If you don’t mind either sounds or don’t have a preference, that’ll make your purchase a lot easier (the cheaper one!). Once you are able to hear the subtle differences, you will eventually notice two distinct types of sounds: some boxes sound like Steirische/Slovenian button accordions, and some have a distinct, different, Slovenian Oberkrainer sound to it. If you aren’t sure, look around on YouTube and give different bands or accordionists a listen. Which alpine sound are you looking for?ĭo you prefer the Oberkrainer sound, or the button accordion ( Steirische) sound? Both are available on piano accordions, but it will affect the accordion’s tuning, construction, weight and price range. If you’re able to, try as many as you can for yourself and choose the sound and feel that you like.

Please only take this information as guidance there’s no solid rule about the accordion you should use. Please note this also applies for chromatic button accordions. I hope the following information can assist anyone who is looking for that sound and not sure where to start, particularly outside of central Europe where it is difficult to find this information in English. Further information was hard to obtain through research of my own, so I had to turn to contacts from central Europe who were happy to explain what they use and what makes the sound that we know and love (as well as using Google Translate on German and Slovenian accordion forums). When I started my search for a piano accordion with a typical Slovenian (Oberkrainer) sound (see Avsenik, Alpenoberkrainer, etc), I had no idea what to look for.
