Next, we played the accordion. And Fratelli Crosio was the trademark of Verchren, Aimable, Yvette Horner, ... Do the math. There are also Cavagnolos and Paolo Soprani, a matter of taste when it comes to musette tuning. Mine has been re-tuned American.
I have a Fratelli Crosio study accordion with 3 rows on the right and on the left 2 rows of basses (16x2) and 3 rows of chords (M, m, and 7th)
I'm looking for a method with a diagram for the different possibilities of making the chords with the first and second row of basses (either at the top and bottom of the keyboard) we find the same basses in the first and second row at different levelsThanks in advance

Hello, it is necessary to buy, the Method of Chromatic accordion by Médard Ferrero, it is super! you will find it on internet at 13 euros!
Hello,
Sorry, I thought I had introduced myself when I registered in March but apparently I didn't so I'm doing it now

I live in the ALLIER 03 near MOULINS in BRESNAY more precisely
I am retired since one year and I took again the music to know the chromatic accordion.
I learned at the age of 9 years and I played until 20 years I stopped for professional and family reasons. I was part of an accordion club with which we animated dances.
I bought a second hand fratelli crosio 120 basses identical to the one I had when I was young (crush) but unfortunately too heavy, so I bought at the beginning of the year a roland FR3XB that I find great and I'm very happy with it even though the sound does not compete with my fratelli.
Sincerely
Christine

Welcome to you :)Hope you like it here :)
Hello to all,
I started the chromatic in May of this year. I fell in love with it thanks to a friend who came to rehearse several times at home to accompany my fiddler husband...I found the duet so beautiful that I decided to try this chroma too :-)
I bought a second hand Fratelli Crosio that I had completely restored (C2 and Belgian basses). I found a teacher not too far from my home and ...bof bof...she talked a lot about herself and her future reconversion...I gave up with her. 2nd teacher : she's the one ! I have lessons 1h every 15 days and I have fun ! So much that I'm going to see this week to change my accordion and invest in a new one with several voices and several registers.
I know music, that's already an advantage. I've been playing piano for 5 years and diato for 4.
See you soon in other sections of the forum :-)

Hello Khali,
It's my turn to welcome you.
You will see that we like it here on P-A, at least it is my case where I am registered since its creation.
Have a nice Sunday.

Hi musicians
I am looking for pedagogical methods to know my new Fratelli Crosio concert accordion 4 rows right hand identical to the left hand
I think the "Complete classical accordion method" by Alain Abbott will do the trick
Other ideas will be welcome
If possible a PDF file
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Julienjc

hi nice accordionists
I own a Fratelli- Crosio chromatic accordion 3 rows right hand and the C is on the 4th button first row
I just bought a Fratelli- Crosio chromatic accordion 4 rows right hand = left hand

Who can confirm it to me?

Thanks Cindou11
I went through your data
I deduce that the C starts on the first row first button
To be corrected if there is an error in interpretation
I'll try to get the Abbott A method from P-A
"Complete method of classical accordion"
Thanks for your light

Hello

There are various brands of accordions on the internet. But I don't know how they compare.
"Made in China" is no longer a criterion of mediocrity. It's not easy to make up your mind.

Including the brands mentioned by the following speakers, there are the: Accordiola Balone Beltuna Bonetti Bonifassi Borsini Burini Caca-digit Carpentier Cassotto Castagnari Cavagnolo Crucianelli Danube Del Sol Empire Excelsior Fisart Fratelli Crosio Giulietti Hohner Iorio Jazz La Tosca Maugein Mengacini Nobility Noble Notech Piermaria Pigini Roland Rossetti Saltarelle Scandali SofiaMari Stradella Titano V-Accordion Victoria Viper Weltmeister Westminster
Are there any other brands?
Which accordions are the most sought after for their sound and quality?
What are the brands to avoid?
What is your favorite accordion?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and personal taste.

HelloPersonally I have been playing on Piermaria for 20 years, I am absolutely delighted with it as far as I am concerned.
Many brands are excellent, it's often a question of budget, if you go to a specialized store, you can try different types of instruments and especially at different prices.
