"and.. you know.." ..no I don't, that's why I'm watching a basics video ¬¬

[salomslot]

thanks for the great videos, i was wondering how much a accordion would cost

[Welihy]

@salomslot It depends- they range from 200 to 2,000 dollars, or at least the ones I've seen.

[MessingWithMatches]

@salomslot i looked on ebay and the range was from 10 pounds to...well over 1000 xD

[BlueLemon19]

@14spag14 probably chinese plastic accordions crushed their productions and now they are laying their butts on street :(

Thanks so much for your informative series of videos. I'm a prefessional violinist, and I recently bought an accordion off Ebay. When it arrived from the USA the bass buttons had ended up all over the place. From your video I was confident enough to take it to bits and aside from a few reed niggles I now have a working accordion.

Your presentation is very clear and helpful.

my accordion doesnt have piano keys just buttons on both sides what is the difference between the two as far as learning?

i enjoy watching your video's. nice tempo and easy listening. i works well for me, when you make the link with a piano, that's where 'i come from'. hope to see for of that. :)

@windblows33 The Toastmasters call those "verbal crutches". Public speaking is a skill that most of us have to learn.
