A few days alone at home allowed me to begin recording the album I want to dedicate to this cute cheap instrument (which belongs to my girlfriend).

It is a little #garmon (also called #garmoshka), a Russian diatonic and unisonoric #accordion. This one plays only G major scale (or E minor) + D#.

I'll add other instruments later (violin…) but Here is the recording of the garmon for the first two tracks (together in 1 file) :

On my #garmon set, I needed a tune to play together with "Sussex Cotillion".
So here's "Fashion Cotillion" (title in the vibe of some 18th-century French titles "Le nouveau cotillon", "Le cotillon à la mode", etc.)

Recorded quickly here (well, no, I play it too slowly, but... anyway, you get the idea):

i've got garmons and bayans on the brain.

i can't believe eastern europe has all this diversity in accordions. you know they really love it.

i believe the instrument in this video is a garmon (they refer at one point to the "garmoshka", which is a cute name for a garmon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRtll3eup88
