Buying your first accordion can be difficult due to the large selection of brands, models, colors, and sizes. It’s simple for you to become overwhelmed by all the alternatives if you don’t have the correct counsel to guide you in making the best choices. Buying an accordion should be viewed as a commitment to studying the instrument and an investment. Before making a purchase, do some research. Here are the main factors to consider when purchasing your first Button accordion.
Price:
Since you’ll eventually be trading this accordion for the one you truly desire, keep your price low. Your progress will make it easier for you to defend future financial commitments. Indeed, some people start by purchasing the ideal Button accordion, but only when they are well-informed about the market or rely on a reliable source.
Type:
Jazz, rock, country, and many other musical genres frequently feature the piano, but each has unique sounds and characteristics. Depending on your playing style, the concertina may be simpler than the chromatic, similar to other cultures, while remaining separate from them and more confined.
Size:
We suggest a lighter accordion for beginners. The instrument should be as easy to play and practice on as possible. The weight won’t be an issue when you upgrade to a larger musical instrument in the future.
Tuning :
Children must know this. We can personally confirm that a child’s perfect pitch will normally develop 100% of the time if they start playing before the age of five. Several of my kids began to learn pitch at this age and eventually achieved it. Make sure the accordion is tuned correctly.
Compression:
Although there is always some air in the chamber, it shouldn’t leak much from the accordion.
Reeds:
There are four different accordion configurations: one, two, three, or four reeds. Note that an accordion’s weight and increasing value depend on how many reeds it has.
