I have just bought myself another piano accordion which has a few things different to what I am used to. The main new ( to me ) features are
1) the doubling up of the 5th bass button row for use as either diminished chord or dominant seventh ( I opened another thread on this practice )
2) the use of a palm switch instead of seperate register switches for the bass
3) the bass E and the bass A flat buttons have no dimples, grooves, etc to make them easy to find. N.B. The bass C button has the normal dip in it as I have found to be the case on all other accordions I have ever seen.
I am struggling with feature 3. The question is how would you make these 2 X buttons easy to find whilst playing? Replacing them would be a little extreme!
