CBA notes

Rediscovered the handwritten notes I’d written late last year while pondering what chromatic button accordions would be best for me. In the end it was upper end of that price range, to get an excellent built from scratch French one with great reeds. I went with a slightly tamer sound than the musette I’d pondered, for me who would be doing tons of repetitive basic exercises, and hitting wrong notes a lot! I was rather torn between musette and swing tunings, but swing was the right choice. And the default Rouge Passion Dauphin 60 bass was my choice of box, which is a *gorgeous* colour. On downside I had to wait 6 months for it to be made from scratch, and then slowly get to me in a post Brexit customs situation. But I absolutely adore it, and it is unexpectedly helping me recover more general right hand control I’d lost due to my progressive neurological disease. Absolutely worth every penny.
