Hello everyone,
I would like to have some information that I have not found anywhere on the midi system. I know that it can be installed on an acoustic accordion, in order to continue to play without being connected to an arranger or expander and to keep his accordion without having to buy another one.
I would like to know how much it would cost to install this device on my Fun star 120, and is it a danger for the accordion, and who should I contact for this manipulation, and finally, how much does the midi cost in total (arranger, midi device,...)?
I thank you in advance and wish you a pleasant day.

Hello Leo,
The technique for MIDI on the acoustic accordion is not "open", it remains quite rare today except for a few professionals and it is quite expensive.
Cavagnolo has made a big leap forward with their new digital Digit Pro or simple model. They also do mixed acoustic/digital or all digital modification from an acoustic.
Good research

Thanks to you for the information, I have also inquired (below is a part of the email from Limex):
"The installation of the LIMEX system on your HOHNER accordion is not a problem.
You don't lose any register of your accordion, of course a cut-off register is a plus. There is no risk for your accordion, the acoustic sound is not changed.
LIMEX offers several solutions. Prices vary from 1250€ for the basic system to 3525€ for a complete system transforming your acoustic accordion into a real digital accordion, with the addition of microphones (also possible without microphones)
Digital has never been so easily accessible at a lower cost. "Good evening Leo

Here you are with a price range which seems to me correct.
It is true that the MIDI and now the digital of modern times embellish the game, it also opens new repertoire.
The cost is decreasing, but for good stuff you still have to pay the price. There is no mystery about it, quality has a price. Then the options (Microphone, HF etc..) must be able to be added later.
A good system to be able to make evolve its instrument with time and the means.
Hoping that your pleasure is at the rendezvous,
Good evening

Hello,
I had the Limex light system installed on my accordion. It requires a cable (there is an accessory to replace it 200 €). For the moment, I'm connecting my accordion to my digital piano. Next week, I'll go to the Toulouse accordion store because they have used expanders (ketron and cavagnolo). You can get back to me and I'll have lots of information. The problem with old expanders is their weight, but the price of new ones is 2 to 3000€.

The limex system cost me 1400 € it weighs a little the accordion 1 kg approximately. There is no risk for the accordion but you will need an expander. cdlt

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to add variations in a piece to complicate it a bit or at least make it more beautiful. I don't know if that's what arranging a piece is? so if someone more erudite than me could explain how to proceed.
Thank you in advanceMusically and kindlyLéo

Hello Leo,
There is no specific technique to the arrangement except for some classics used: triplets, arpeggios at the end of the phrase, appogiaturas etc..
Study the Ferrero, André Astier, Joss Baselli methods for example but there are no precise rules and fortunately. Each arrangement is unique in principle, as it should be the result of one's own feeling.
Many accordionists like Maurice Larcange have made them, you can find them here. It gives you an idea.
Have a nice Easter weekend

Good evening,
I agree with what is said above, but there is also a good way to understand how to "arrange" a piece is to listen to how others play it. Take a simple song for example Mon Amant de St Jean, or Sous les Ponts de Paris, listen to it by various musicians (old like Verchuren, to the newest like ..... full of others..... listen to very different versions (very musette, more swingy, or even almost classical) and try to imitate it at first and then little by little you will create your own style; But who says arrangement says also good technique because it often goes with it. Best regards
J-Pierre
