@2eyesblue2 I've been 'tweaking' the instrument [see my reply to hideshikibi, below] and also I've recently changed the position I hold the instrument, and it seems to me that it resonates a lot more now - but perhaps I just have a vivid imagination :-)

cheers,

CT

[2eyesblue2]

If you don't mind me asking, Cathy, what do you mean with 'papering over' the reeds in the bass-box?

Theo

[AccordionJo]

@2eyesblue2 Hi Theo, I covered the air-flow holes with paper, to stop a set of reeds sounding. I've sent you a video to demonstrate

cheers,

Cathie

[beppobel]

Très belle interprétation...

Jean-Marie

[AccordionJo]

@Surletard Jean-Marie, hello and thanks for listening

CT

[mattis09]

wouh!!

beautifull jazzy french playing-style.

Most i like the transistion-parts at 1:18 , 1:49 and 2:31 .

And sometimes it gets a nicely groove in contrast to the melacholic parts..

Dreamfull ........... ;-)

And thanks for posting !!

[AccordionJo]

@mattis09 hi Mattis, I think what appeals to me about this piece is that it's possible to treat it in many different ways, and it will work in many styles...I think that's the mark of a well-constructed piece of music; a real pleasure to play!!

[diealocan]

Un modelo, un ideal.

[hideshikibi]

great ,like always.

you changed tuning of accordion?

now i feel more jazzy and Naïve.

[AccordionJo]

@hideshikibi Hello and thankyou for listening Hideshi! Yes, my instrument is sounding different, but it's not the tuning...about 6 months ago I papered over the highest-sounding reeds in the bass-box; so the balance between bass and treble keyboards is now much better, and the bass-box has more warmth and more clarity. As for tuning - I have been very lazy, and haven't tuned it for nearly 12 months ;-(
