Given that depending on the tuning (C/G or G/D) most french HurdyGurdy music is going to be in C,G,D, cmin,gmin and dmin, what tuning do accordion players use. Actually, what type of accordions are used. 2 row diatonics, 3 row diatonics, 2, 3 or more row chromatics?
I checked a few cd's and they are no help, Cyril Roche (trio Patrick Bouffard) plays "Accordeon Diatonique", as does Frederic Paris. Alain Bruel (from tour a tour) plays "accordeon chromatique", Irish players use b/c or c#/d 2 row chromatics, english musicians tend to g/d diatonics but i have no clue what french music would use. any ideas anyone? thanks derek and yes, i am suffering from 'Multiple Instrument Aquisition Disorder'..
