Zwei Zwiefacher - Hohner Morino Club

A medley of 2 zwiefache tunes from the Austrian Alps: Neundorfer and Hirschegger. Zwiefachers are a mixture of 2/4 and 3/4 time signatures. The Victoria was made in the 1930s and restored by me. The Morino is from the 1960s and was reconditioned by Chris at Accordions Canada.

@Accordioncrasy thank you Istvan for your supportive comments.

Lovely sounds and great playing, Geoff, on these venerable and rich-sounding instruments! These vintage gems exhibit a world of unique voicing which has unfortunately been lost to the more modern, mass-produced counterparts.

@FromHolbergsTime yes Glenn, If I could afford it I would buy more vintage instruments to save them from rusting in the junk heap. It can cost hundreds of dollars to have a small accordion professionally re-tuned and airtight, and much more for a full size. So I'm learning how to do it on my own, but it's very labor intensive.

Yes ... thank you ... and I did he same!  Fun stuff!

Do you learn by Griffschrift or standard notation?

[schnefsky]

@dhoshield I bought the Michlbauer books and am learning griffschrift ( 5 finger on the keys method), however, I have written a bunch of songs out from standard notation into Griffschrift, as it is truly an easy way to play the harmonika. I've been palying for about 9 months now, hope to be good in about 5 years!

Yes ... thank you ... and I did he same!  Fun stuff!

@dhoshield Thanks Dennis. I've just subscribed to your channel We zwiefacherans need to stick together....

[dhoshield]

Very good, Geoff! I love Zwiefachers! I only know Hirschegger as a fast polka, and is quite different from your Zwiefacher! Keep up the good work!

Grias aus die US! :-)
