This website made me want to start a similar experiment:
https://squeezeboxgoddess.wordpress.com/category/accordion-techie-stuff/
Its about a 12 bass diatonic (bisonic) accordion converted into a 12 tone unisonic chromatic Wicki/Hayden bass layout.
The bass Wicki/Hayden layout used here is:
F G A B C# Eb (6 basses)
Bb C D E F# Ab (6 basses)
Have bought a second hand Paolo Soprani 12 bass (unisonic bass) CBA chromatic button accordion, 1-voiced, 31 notes on the melody side, with 12 basses. It has no complex bass machinery and is very lightweight, about 2,5 kg.
My plan is to convert this 12 prefixed chord bass system into a chromatic 12 tone bass layout, a bit like the layout used by Zademack/Micklitz in 1903/1911 and later by Ernst Kusserow in 1926/1927:
F# G G# A A# B (6 basses)
C C# D D# E F (6 basses)
Anyone knowing of accordion makers/luthiers having tried this (free) bass layout on a CBA?
Here are also some inside photos of a 8 bass simple accordion:

There is no complex bass machinery.
