hi guys, can anyone help me out ? looking to buy a 96 bass piano accordion as im finding my 120 bass to heavy. its a nice box. im currently playing a paulo soprani 120 bass with traditional tuning. im looking for similar tuning in a 96 0r smaller box. i would be interested in trading. thanks !
Paulo soprani make 'em with just 8 bases too you know. 8 is more than enough for diddley music. They have buttons on the other side too and you get a different note when you squeeze or pull. Great for diddley music. Give it a whirl.
Raymond Roland Rip, Finbar Dwyer, John Bowe, Martin Macmahon, all box players. Sean Macguire Rip. Kevin Burke,
Sean O Shea, Josephine Keegan, Danny Meehan, Brendan Mulkere, Angela Creehan. Tom Macarty, Bobby Casey,
P J Crotty Rip. Roger Sherlock, Mick OConnor, John Carty, Joe Burke, Tony Macmahon, Noel Hill. Charlie Lennon, Frankie Gavin, to pull afew names off the top of my head.
Iv'e gone over to the dark side and been playing a Roland F2 with 72 basses - they are SOOO light!!!!
No internal speakers or batteries, and obviously no reeds, and you need an amp, but for £1200 you can't go wrong.
Soundwise, they are much more realistic than the full sized Rolands and the left-hand is really good (when you get orchestra noise on) - really good for dancing.
Took it to the sesh the other night - everyone was a bit unsure at first, but once they had heard it, they all wanted a go.
geoff wright - i've had a go on one of those rolands - they're INSANE. It's like being possessed. You're carrying an accordion, but you can't feel it. You're hearing an accordion, but you don't have a hunch back. It's like one massive contradiction. It made me feel ill and I had to lie down.
I also play Paolo Soprani PA they're brilliant for trad sessions. O'Neills of Gortin Co Tyrone is the place to go for a good price, I saved £200 on the cost of mine. Tel 02881648492
I have my son's 4 voice SEM 72 bass in white for sale, beautiful instrument £1200 - email me if interested.

Re: piano accordion
Great list "llig", but how come only 1 name under the age of 50 ? Just curious.

Re: piano accordion
The musicians in the above list play traditional irish music,

Re: piano accordion
Yes, long life to it. It will outlive all of us, and some. And for that I'm truly glad.
(this site though is about diddley tunes. But traditional irish music includes the songs and slow airs aswell)
