CHROMATIC BUTTON ACCORDION METHOD RXY FREE
NB The C system Free Bass works exactly the same across 4 rows on a convertor system, but in order that the fingering is the same the notes are in the opposite direction. You cannot always look of course, nor should you, so it is customary to mark for touch all the Cs and all the Fs on the chromatic accordion. Notice how this keeps the principle of the same direction of travel for up and down as up being a right hand move for your hand and down is moving to the left as on a piano style keyboard SUPERTIP: Watch this happen by following the sequence of white and black buttons in the two diagonals from the fourth white button, approximately centre of lowest row shown above. The Remaining right hand upward stroke of the V will be C C# D Eb E Hence choose a C and the left hand part of the V will be C Bb Ab Gb/F# E If you choose to look at a note from the outside row and select notes out from it in a V formation, the beginning of the V will be tones moving back down in a C system and the other stroke of the V will give you semitones going upwards. In this way you can tell whether it is set up in C system (C included on the outside row) or B system (B on the outside) by looking at it.Ī C system instrument will have equal numbers of black and white buttons on the outside, alternately 2 white and 2 black whereas a B system will have the row with 3 white and then 1 black there. To identify the actual notes it is customary to colour the buttons for the piano key they would represent. Unlike the folk style button accordions on chromatic you have enough buttons for every note and do not have to worry about them varying with bellows direction. Probably because of the effort of thinking about them rather than any particular comparative finger difficulty.Ĭhromatic accordions are not to be confused with diatonic accordions, such as melodeons and more types which are designed to play inside particular specified keys rather than cover any possible key modulations. This is however over simplification and you will probably find some keys easier to play in than others. The Chromatic Accordion can play in any key, just like a piano accordion, theoretically with the same fingering and sequence of buttons whatever key you are in.
