I stumbled upon this today while trying to find out what was meant by "swing" tuning, which gives an example of dry, swing, mild & strong musette:
But what is "tremolo" tuning?

Adverts like this come mainly from accordion dealers!!!!!an advertisement like that suggests a relatively naive seller
You forgot the "headache galore"suggest descriptions for ads that are more understandable
" meusette that peels paint off your walls"
"...makes your sainted Irish Mither weep for Joy"
"guaranteed to make ears bleed during concert"
"Meusette for a night of Absinthe on the West Banke"
"Italian Wedding Soup tuning"
and one last truly unique tuning scheme my friend Walter did on his
(now mine) beloved Scandalli... "Warsaw tuning"

With MM+ the "average" pitch you hear is a bit higher than the concert pitch, and that is subjectively experienced as louder than MM- which is below the concert pitch. But it is subjective. THere is only a truly noticeable difference when the central M is in cassotto.On an LMMM instrument where the middle M is concert tuned and the other two are +/-15 cents, Is it true that the degree of tremolo heard will be the exactly the same regardless whether the MM* register is selected or the *MM register is selected? If so, is there any objective reason for choosing one of these registers over the other, or is it only a matter of personal preference?
That is fascinating. Why would the difference be more noticeable if the central M is in cassotto?With MM+ the "average" pitch you hear is a bit higher than the concert pitch, and that is subjectively experienced as louder than MM- which is below the concert pitch. But it is subjective. THere is only a truly noticeable difference when the central M is in cassotto.
In any case when you have a register that it M-M+ (without the middle M) then it sound like there is more tremolo than M-MM+.
Is it therefore also true that an accordion tuned at 442Hz will be louder than one tuned at 440Hz and louder still at 444Hz and, if this is true, are these differences perceptible? And why tune an accordion at anything other than 440Hz anyway?With MM+ the "average" pitch you hear is a bit higher than the concert pitch, and that is subjectively experienced as louder than MM- which is below the concert pitch.
