Thanks in advance

Good evening Bernard
You can use Google translation to translate a PDF document.
If you can't do it, tell me in private message.
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

hello and welcome cocott03 . I know the Allier very well since I worked there for France Telecom for many years. Office in Moulin and in Ebreuil . About fifty kms separate us; we are almost neighbors. Do you know "lilot part" in Moulin ??? if you are part of the accordion club of Moulin you have been in my fief in Fourchambault during the meetings of harmonies of all horizons. You were the only one at this meeting (in white and red) if I remember. Happy to meet you neighbor Bourbonne, I love your region; country of Rene Fallet, the jacquemard brothers. You knew "Lucien Thomas" Domi Emorine and certainly Paul Chalier (alias Pablo Cagliero) further down. I believe that we would have much to tell. Welcome cocott03

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 :-)

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

Hello julienjc,

Your Fratelli is therefore a harmoneon, there is a method of Mr. Monichon, Pierre, but it is not common to find.

For your information it is this one:

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
(harmonion)
I have the idea that the C starts at the 3rd button first row
Who can confirm it to me?
thanks in advance

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.

Hello, Visit the specialized sites for the accordion - www.lamaisondelaccordeon.com - www.fisart.fr Good brands: Hohner, Castagnari, Beltuna, Roland and many others. See first in a specialized music store for good advice. Musically

Interesting. In the trade, salesmen have arguments to sell their brands. I would like to know the opinions of accordionists. That's what this discussion is about. Thank you for participating.

Hello to all: I would have liked to know who started this subject!! which is succeptible to interest some members of the forum. As far as I am concerned, I have used several brands, and I have my own opinion on the question; the brand is certainly an important criterion but, as in a brand of cars, there is a whole range, so it remains to determine the budget to devote to the use that you want to make of an accordion.. there are also traditional acoustic accordions, accoustic accordions equipped with midi, and purely electronic accordions (without accoustics) chromatic bass accordions etc... To say that a brand is better than the other certainly but it is difficult to openly denigrate a brand or to make publicity for another §§§ see you soon musically Robinson 82

Hello there is an excellent French brand "Maugein". http://www.accordeons-maugein.com/visite/index.html but in my favorite brands I would also give fratelli crosio, piermaria, cavagnolo and hohner if we take in the range fun pro (which is of Italian manufacture)

In terms of brands, there is also Noble and Empire. I have a Noble accordion myself that I am quite happy with, and a friend has an Empire that he is very happy with as well. Favorite brand hum.... I had the opportunity to have several hohner, westminster, and other brands too old to be still readable on the beast :) Overall from my experience (but it depends on the different models) my favorites would be for hohner and noble.

Good evening accordionists Choosing an accordion is like choosing a car, so you see how important subjectivity is, there are mercedes fans and BMW fans and happy owners of CITROEN or PEUGEOT, they are all cars but ...... ???? Two very important criteria in my opinion apart from the price, 1° think of the weight of the beast, if you make of the ball 11 kg on the shoulders during hours, at 20 years çà passes to 60 çà breaks!Then look at the smaller models or the new carbon body (Accordiola, lighter) or all digital (5/6 kg approximately, Bonifassi, Caca-digit, Rolland V-ACCORDEON, etc...) 2° what kind of music will you play, big musette, jazzy, variety, folk, ? and 3° think about the proximity of the S.A.V., there are several manufacturers in France (among others Maugein, Cavagnolo, Accordiola, to mention only that, but there are others and good ones too), I play on ACCORDIOLA model 04 which is 15 years old and which sounds wonderful (for my personal taste) and which has never caused me any problems, and I also play on a CAVAGNOLO ODYSSEE (all digital HF), which I appreciate especially for its lightness, which I like less at the sound level. So here is to advise a choice I do not venture, look around you question the accordionists you meet, and in my opinion it is like the rest, the cheap is when a sign of lesser quality, and you will see

re, by an unfortunate click I posted my message without finishing it, so in conclusion, look also at discussion forums, there are some for the most common brands, Good luck and good purchase, you will enjoy yourself anyway with this wonderful instrument that is the accordion. Sincerely Djipy

Hello, I have played on many accordions of different brands and, as one of our friends said, it is like choosing a car. There is the price, the aesthetics and the engine. It is impossible to say which manufacturer is the best. While it is true that Italian-made accordions are considered the best, in Italy the Maugein is considered an excellent accordion. I had a Dallape (brand of Stradella, the sanctuary of accordions) which is the Rolls of the accordions. It is like the others, it does not play by itself and very few people are able to tell the difference between its sound and that of other brands. Maybe I am not completely impartial. I am from Piacenza, an Italian town located 30 km from Stradella where I have been many times even if the last one was 20 years ago. In conclusion, a general rule that applies to almost everything, the more expensive an accordion is, the better it is. Have a nice day Dan

After hearing him
; I was tempted by the price at instrumentalsavings.com and bought a Rossetti 2 octave 25 keys 12 bass piano accordion for my 7 year old granddaughter, believing that if she didn't have an accordion, she would never play one. For a little beginner, it should do the job. What amazes me is that I can get a better price buying on the internet in California than at home in Quebec City! It seems to me that I live closer to Italy than people on the Pacific coast. Even if it is an Italian brand, the accordion could be made in China. I'll know when I receive it.

Hello, There are also the Balone Burini, and Mengacini. Personally I play on a Pigini super variety. My two previous accordions were also Pigini. The choice of an instrument is very personal and also depends on the repertoire... Anyway, it is better to try before buying. A + Michelle

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.
