I finally got around to buying a Hagstr\u00f6m accordion. A Granesso – probably from the late 40s\/early fifties:\"Picture<\/a><\/p>\n

It sounds good – I am not sure if it is completely airtight but fairly close at least. And pretty much in tune as well. Impressive form such an old mechanical instrument!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I was trying out the accordion without anything besides my logic. I knew that the left hand was the bass side and that it was chords organized accordion to the circle of fifth. I figured out that there where different kinds of the same chord outside of each other. The right hand side is easier in a way, since it is supposed to play melodies primarily, and the colour of the knobs are like on the piano – white for c-major, black for sharps\/flats. So I managed to figure out the children’s song “Lille Katt” with chord yesterday. I thought I played it in C, but it was in G I discovered today when I checked out Hans Palm’s webpages about the bass<\/a> and melody side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So now I am thinking which song I should try to learn: Should I choose a traditional Swedish accordion song like Flottark\u00e4rlek<\/a> oI try to learn an “easy” Christmas song like Jingle bells<\/a> or just jump onto a song which I actually would like to play like Nordnorsk julesalme<\/a>. I’ll have to sleep on it! Some songs can be found on wikifonia<\/a> or elsewhere<\/a> which might be an advantage for me since I usually lean onto sheets, but I would like to train my ear playing on the accordion so I really do not know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
