Hi all
New to the site, I must say you all seem like a friendly bunch. :b
O.K a bit about me, 46 years old and really want to give it a go with the Piano Accordion. Never even held one before! Had some piano lessons some years back, can read music slowly and probably a bit rusty now!
The million dollar question is what PA should I get to start with. I seem to be drawn to the 48 Base ones to be fare as they seem to be listed as student models! Some places say avoid Chinese ones and some sites say they are fine.!!! Confused.com!! Honer seems to crop up a lot also!
I'm looking to play folk type music (that's the type I like, also Irish and French sounding tunes are great.... oh and sea shanties!!! as you can all see I love a bit of Varity!
Do you think a 48 Base is too difficult to start with. Not looking to spend too much on the first one (just incase I don't stick at it), however are second-hand ones a good move considering I have no clue what im looking at!!
Finally it seems most people are self taught or by a family friend, I would prefer structured lessons. Are these easy to come by in Essex/e London!
Anyway enough for now thanks for taking the time to read all my waffle and I look forward to any advice you all feel necessary.
regards Christian :ch :ch
