Hello all,
I have been playing piano accordion since 2018 and bayan for about a year. Nice to see a whole forum dedicated to accordions. My first box was a 60 bass "Italian" (probably chinese) instrument I got from a local music store who wasn't entirely knowledgeable about accordions. In April 2019 I picked up a late 50s-early 60s Hohner Tango VM from Liberty Bellows in Philadelphia, and in May 2020 I bought a 120 bass, 5 row bayan locally. Hoping to trade that out very soon for a 3 row, 150 bass bayan with much mellower reeds. Nice to be here!
