7/2/2023 0 Comments Button box accordion![]() We are each getting a lot of mileage out of mocking the failings of the other's instrument, not to mention our playing abilities. I and a friend of mine both took up new instruments at the same time almost two years ago - he a concertina, I a button box. But it's interesting look at the question sideways and ask which of them has the greater potential for irritating. Glad to see people with strong opinions here! That passion for music kind of reminds me of the Hank III Cussin Board: īoth tina and button box can be marvellously exciting instruments and I wouldn't try to argue the superiority of either one over the other. It's just that if an idea comes to me first in Spanish or Portuguese, I prefer to express it in that language. I didn't mean to offend anybody with the Spanish. I was thinking Norteño, Musica Popular Brasileira, Frevo, Forró and Gaucho music. I also like piano accordions and CBA and Bayans and trikitixia and only a greater amount of experience with the I have played other brands and really like the sound and playability of the accordion reeded concertinas. I have owned A Jeffries and a Wheatstone. I play button accordion primarily ( melodeon, diatonic bisonoric bellows driven free reed instruments) but also enjoy the concertina though I have limited skills on them. Santiago Jimenez JR ( Flacos brother) still plays a 2 row and IMNSHO is a far superior player to Flaco.Ĭheck Arhoolie records for all types of Latin Accordion music and check out their videos. Tex-Mex ?īutton accordion for all the above but even though most use a 3 row Hohner CoronaII as the basic instrument, the keys and the tuning vary greatly,įor Tex-Mex I prefer the original 2 row sound in G/C as was played by the early greats before the 3 row was introduced. What kind of Latin Music? Cumbia, Vallenato, COnjunto.
