Is that related to IAS Instrument Acquisition Syndrome?

 

Hi everyone.  My name is Fi and I am an Instrumentaholic.  I am hopefully in
the process of acquiring a hurdy gurdy so I joined this list so I can find
out information on the dos and don'ts and the how to s and the how nots etc.

Subject: [HG] accordion tuning

 

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
