Hello
I would like to buy a beginner diatonic accordion. I found on the internet accordions at very reasonable prices. On the Celtic music instruments website, the chevallier is offered at 349 euros (new, 12 basses in G C F - free shipping). Is it a good purchase? Does anyone know this accordion? Is it an accordion that can be recommended to a beginner? Can the connoisseurs enlighten me?
Thank you, Have a nice day
Nice sailor

Hello daniel77,
You have the solution to rent before buying, which allows you to discover the instrument without incurring significant costs.
You already play the piano keyboard, which makes it logical to keep this support for reasons of ease.
The button accordion is very different, but the left hand will be a button for both.
If you can try both models.
Sincerely

Hello,
The sound of the acoustic accordion depends on its manufacture (Italian, German, etc.) and the number of registers it has.
The sound of the piano accordion seems to my ear to be deeper, it is less practical for the performance of triplets for example.
For jazz and gypsy music the sound is more suitable.
I learned on a button piano at the age of 6 years and at the same time the piano (classical). Having two acoustic accordions Fratelli Crosio and Mengascini plus a digital Roland FR3, the three buttons, I had some difficulties at the beginning to get used to the digital, response and touch of the buttons, bellows.
To answer the question about the cost of an accordion, new acoustic ones are very expensive in the big Italian brands (4.000 euros) for an instrument with register. You can find used ones in good condition at specialized dealers, count from 1.500 euros to ..... I can give you some addresses according to your region.
For the digital, Roland dominates the market with models like the FR1 and FR3, the FR7 or FR8 models are now much more expensive and are reserved for accomplished musicians if you want to enjoy all the possibilities.
Then there are the big brands making acoustic/digital guitars, but here we are entering into much bigger budgets.
If you have any other questions don`t hesitate.
Have a nice sunday

Hello my musician friends.
I have planned to buy an accordion. An accordiola N°8 midi is that somebody has one and could tell me what he thinks of it. I don't have much experience and I don't want to make a mistake. I play mainly musette and I do not like accordions too "criare" Thank you for helping me.

Hello Kris,
I will answer you via "personal message" to avoid flooding the forum with a debate that will not be one, because indeed the choice of an accordion is a strictly personal matter. Just for a general information, in general the sound of the accordion does not depend especially on the brand but mostly on the tuning and this is to be seen with the manufacturer before signing the order form
A more or less musette sound will depend on the voluntary "detuning" between the "voice" produced by the 1st blade (usually tuned to the pitch) and the 2nd and 3rd voices (if your tone is not in tune). and the 3rd voice (if your model is 3 voices right hand), the more you "detune" the 2nd and 3rd voice; the more the musette effect increases to become sometimes unbearable for the purist,
Thus we obtain more or less attenuated musettes, the swing tuning as for him uses only 2 voices hardly detuned.
Here is briefly what I can say about the sound of an accordion
Ac-Cordially
