Vivienne DunstanToday’s linguistic success was hearing back from a French accordion maker, who replied to a query in French, saying "Votre français est impeccable, pas de problème." Zut alors! 🤣 French Higher in 1989! I know it’s in their interests to make potential customers happy, but I’ll still take that as a win! I’m considering getting a compact chromatic button accordion as major new challenge. Still considering. #Languages #FrenchLanguage #Accordion #ButtonAccordion #ChromaticButtonAccordion #Squeezebox
skybrian@vivdunstan I would like to get one too! I’d be interested in what you’ve learned. I’m going to Liberty Bellows tomorrow to try out what they have.
@skybrian was just clarifying the basses are as I expect in a 60 bass (eg E, C, Cmaj, Cmin, C7th). Someone else mentioned to me that French CBAs often do something different with 7th/Dim bits. I’m looking at possibly getting a Maugein Dauphin 60 CBA, but custom built from France, with the musette tuning I want. Big decisions to ponder over Christmas! Best of luck in Liberty Bellows.
