I bought hohner bravo 48 but strap is too small. I am 5’10” and 200 pounds. I need a strap to be a little longer. Can u recommend one?
@@eleuteriomartinez8064 give petosa accordions in Seattle a call, they have plenty of great options and will work with you to find the right pair
Thank you
I think your minor 7 hack is great. I've been playing minor chords instead of minor 7s so there are two benefits for me.
@@stephanieblythe aw good, glad to hear it’s been helpful!! ♥️🙏💯
Wow very nice, WTG Denny. Yes I watched the whole video.

As a Pro bassist of 60yrs I refer the bassline YOU asked about as the 5th from below. example D\A the D being the root and A as the 5th from below.
That is so freaking cool what if I jumped with my keyboard omg 😮😊❤❤❤❤
@@choozychelleigh8965 it took a bit of convincing the team but the thing that sold it was that it was secured with straps to my body… any other company would have said no but this facility is a little more rebellious than your average skydiving crew 😂

@@choozychelleigh8965 lotta firsts!! Haha thanks for watching!! 🙏💯😊
Got it done, thank you! I didn't use the glue though, thought that might be over kill. Cheers
@@DissonantCat ah that’s awesome you went ahead and added it! What’s your initial impressions?
So far I'm liking it!!
This chart is upside down. It might be confusing as the standard charts are all accordion music is the same... the opposite of this chart.
@@colette2612 if you refer to the other video I made, I believe it’s called “free accordion chord chart”, I go over the reasoning behind the layout. It’s different from other charts but it’s more of a top down view, as if you were to extend your neck and look down on it. When you lift your hand over the chart when it’s in front of you, going up on the chart is going away from your head and point of view (going down on the bass), and going down on the chart is going closer to your head (going up on the bass). It’s a little tricky at first if you’re used to other charts but once you grasp it, it’s much more intuitive. There’s definitely a little learning curve but if a beginner were to approach the instrument and look at a bunch of different chart layouts unbiasedly without having experience with any of them, they most likely would find this chart to be easiest to work with. Hope the explanation helps a bit! 😊

After a few days with my new Fire TV, I wanted to view some 4k programming (Prime Video is not consistent in delivering 4K programming to the new TV !) So, I thought I could see 4k on YT and I knew I could count on you for a little 4k. Viewing this again ... I noticed you included my name in the end credits ... somehow I didn't see this the first 3 times I viewed it. Anyway ... thanks Denny. SJ
@@SmilinJackAccordion hey Jack! Hope your summer has been good so far and you’re staying cool out there in the AZ sun! Yeah, have to give credit where credit is due, you definitely helped shape the melody with your input :) and we very much loved the video message you sent us to watch the day after the wedding. We were going through the property cleaning up and took a break to watch it and it brought us to tears. Very memorable moment for us. I hope you’ve been doing well man, it’s been a busy summer for us with work and projects but I’m hoping to get back into S&T mode soon. Would love to catch up for a chat later in the week if you’re around ♥️
I am interested in the hacks, but would like a chart or clearer explanation please maybe with charts....???
@@auntkalei5001 sure thing, what exactly can I help clarify? Feel free to shoot me an email too if you’d like, squeezeandthanks@gmail.com
Is there a way to route the bass and melody sides seperately?
@@robertsteinberger hey Robert! Yes, this can be done with one of their systems that has the “mono” / “stereo” switch that is located on the chip board. I forget what systems have this but you can definitely find that info on their website or on a shops website such as Petosa or liberty. You will need a special Y cable that takes the one 1/4” out and splits it into two separate 1/4” cables. This could be particularly good for isolation when recording or using pedals with certain effects on one vs the other. There will always be some small level of bleed but it’s a solid option to have. I believe I have the 5001 in my new Petosa and that has it but definitely look for the little switch. You’ll have to pop off the grill every time you switch between the two but that’s the extent of heavy lifting once it’s installed
@@SqueezeandThanks thanks! I'm trying to find out if this system would work for Steirische.
@@robertsteinberger Reach out to their customer support and they would be happy to let you know if its compatible :)
quick question I recognize that little accordion does it say where it was made?
You mentioned reliability then talked about feedback. I would say those two things are quite separate. Harmonik's build quality is high so the reliability is high, no doubt. The feedback characteristics depend so much on the pattern of the mic capsule, the frequency response of your speakers, where the mics end up being installed inside your instrument, and what surfaces can reflect sound into the mics and generate feedback. As an audio engineer, I like Harmonik products, a lot, for live sound. They would not be my first choice for recording, where you can put any mic in any position on the outside of the instrument and capture things like the instrument in the room and the keys being pressed. Mics up close will have a great signal/noise ratio and give more volume before feedback but it's not a very natural sound. For recording, some distance is required to capture the true acoustic sound of the instrument. That said, I have this system in my 1960 Petosa piano accordion and it's incredible through a PA. I will be upgrading my chromatic accordion to this system soon as well!
Hey Brad! I suppose you’re right in that regard. For recording sake, I too haven’t found the pickup to be as good as external mics. I have been using a pencil condenser on the keys and a large diaphragm condenser on the bass. I’m sure there are a few pages I could take from your book given your audio engineering background… I don’t have a specific rhyme or reason for how I go about setting them up, just what seems right… pencil condenser maybe a foot and a half away, and the large diaphragm condenser about the same, maybe two feet… both spaced and aiming in a neutral location. Do you have any recommendations?
Wow good job man am literally listening this song for a hour and guess what I am still not bored 😂
Haha that’s amazing to hear brother, I appreciate that so much! ♥️
I don't know why but I love it what am not bad every time
very interesting,only a beginner
This should help quite a bit once you start to grasp the basics and the handling of it. It’s tricky at first, but stay with it!! Promise it gets easier ♥️
Much toking but I cann not enithing too see hou du this.
This blew my mind!! Thank you!!
Aw good, glad to hear it, I hope it comes in handy for ya! :)
Sup brother
Hey brother!! Good running into you yesterday, hope the rest of the long weekend treats you well. Probably see ya again mid week or so ☀️
So sad adila my favorite on mussette bobby 83 yrs
I will always love accordion man mussett somin else
Definitely an inspiration i started playing accordion about a year ago now. Im getting better each day and funny enough learning accordion is actually in turn teaching me the piano.
So great to hear that Davey!! Yeah the two go hand in hand for sure, I like to use my left pinky and thumb and play the lower octave on the piano like I would play the bass on the accordion. I just got an organ recently and that’s a ton of fun too, crazy tying in the footwork 😅
@SqueezeandThanks we have an old tonewheel hommand organ they are very fun to mess around with. Footwork gets involved but man it sounds good when you finally get the ryrhems all figured out.
@@daveyfromdownsouth7889 same! I forget which model mine is but it’s also a tonewheel. Such a task to get everything coordinated but it’s a great mental gymnastics
Hey Danny Beautiful Video... One question, where did you find the small Accordeon that is hanging from the Cats neck.
Thanks Edgar! I got it from an accordion shop that was closing down so I’m not sure where you could find one, it’s a touch bigger than most of those accordion Christmas ornaments that are a little more common to find. I would look on eBay and type in miniature accordion. I took a big rubber band and fixed it to the top and put it around his neck for a quick photo opportunity :)
The reason there are only three notes on the chord buttons is to keep the air usage by the bellows consistent, otherwise if chords have different numbers of notes to them, they would use different amounts of air so the chords would feel easier/harder to play with the bellows.
Dang I never would have considered that to be a factor but that makes so much sense! Appreciate ya sharing that Alex :) Do you know if they ever had 4 note chord buttons on early models?
@@SqueezeandThanks Good question, I don't!
Finally! I found exactly the community I've been looking for for a long time! I myself love playing the accordion and have finally found more people who like the accordion as much as I do! Thank you for your cool videos! Greetings from southern Germany, Bavaria 🙂
Aw that warms my heart to hear, thank you so much for saying hello and for the lovely words 😊 don’t be a stranger!! ♥️🪗
@@SqueezeandThanks thank you so much 🙂
Keep up the good work bro!!
Nice! I’m sure that Austin Post would approve!
I like your video. I'm now searching for new straps and the Neotech straps seem good and already have this option, have you heard of them?
Hey there, the neotech straps are decent, I’ve heard of some people not liking them and not having them hold up well over time. If you can find straps that are made out of genuine leather that are wider like 3”, you might be happier with those. Hope that helps! 😊
I just found the key to my grampa's 120 button accordion case, thanks for the vid it realy helped! 😄
Do only professional music/instrument retailers sell these? I would like to buy one. My online searching is coming up with no buying options. I just found your channel and really like your content! I plan on buying your charts!
Thank you for the kind words!! :) Hmm, I wonder if they discontinued them, that’s odd they’re not available. I don’t really use my black one hardly at all, I might consider selling it if you’re interested?
@@SqueezeandThanks Thanks (and squeeze)! I would be interested depending on price. From what I'm seeing poking around online accordions cost a lot more than I thought. I live about 6 hours away, though I am hoping to go to Buffalo someday for Dyngus Day. I love polka music, I watch Mollie B on tv every week and listen to polka radio occasionally too. I have one of those little toy accordions you mentioned, but it's the button version. I saw online the newer piano version looks slightly better. I hope someday to learn how to play a real one. Do you have how-to books or know where to find them? I didn't see them on your website. I have no piano experience, and don't know how to read music. So basically I would be a complete beginner. Thanks for your help and quick reply!
One more question, do you play polka shows from time to time? I didn't see it mentioned on your website. I saw in your video that you hurt your shoulder a few years back. I am glad you are doing better and enjoying making music again! I haven't found much for polka entertainment where I live. I love seeing Jimmy Sturr several times a year, plus I bounce to Maifest and Oktoberfests near me. I still wish I could discover more. Searching for accordions online I discovered Liberty Bellows Accordion Shop. I would love to see that store someday. It would be about 3 hour trip for me. Maybe I could even plan a trip around a polka show. (I think Pennsylvania gets some polka love? They have a song named after them after all...)
@@mrsperter I have learning resources on my website, click on “learning” up at the top… and there is a free chord chart if you scroll down on the homepage about midway. I just celebrated my first Dyngus day actually… well, filmed it. Helped a buddy who was shooting a documentary about Dyngus day and it was such a cool experience. My buddy, “Captain Tom and the Hooligans” played a killer set, check them out! Also look into Chardon Polka Band if you haven’t already, they have a huge catalog of music.
Maybe someone knows how the rhinestones call in spanish?

I cannot seem to find any orders that you have placed when I search your name in my records. Did you place it under a different name? Awaiting your reply so I can ship you another ASAP
It totally ROCKS
This is an old video, so the give away is not valid! Where does one get one of these?
It was never truly valid, the giveaway was to the kid that’s in the video towards the end… but when this video dropped, I shared info on how to win a bravo 48 that we gave away in an online contest. But you can pick up these xs boxes anywhere online I’m sure, just google Hohner XS
02:28 that hit me hard 😂😭 I bought a vintage *Hohner Imperial iv a* ....wanted to buy it (had to save up money to get it) so I was getting worried it would not be there anymore but then I was like ....who am I kidding 😂 (it was still there)
Hahaha ain’t it the truth? 🤣
seriously thinking of buying this one for travelling ! XS looks nice I recently repared an old accordion very underrated instrument in the West ( in the East it is still a serious instrument )
If the form factor is what you’re after, this is a good option, but if you can find a cheaper 48 bass (little bigger), that might be more enjoyable for you. I really wish this had the counterbass row and the width of a 48, I think it’s only from F to A
Love the counter bass row 7 hack, it solve the 48 bass 12x4 no 7 row challenge, genius!
Im so glad it’s been helpful for ya!! 😊🪗♥️
Great lesson. Love the way you demonstrate with a chart (on the left side of page) pointing out exactly which buttons you are referring to. Thanks. Have been following Ronan Segal for many years. Looking forward to following you as well.
Hey Tim, glad you enjoyed it brother!! And thank you so much for becoming a Patreon member! ♥️ really appreciate the support
Do they still make these? I can't find them anywhere.
Gorgeous!
I got these installed and I'm getting a lot of key noise from them. It seems like the keys make a boomy sound and a click that's sometimes louder than the notes themselves. Anyone else have this issue and were you able to fix it?
That was absolutely touching. I loved every minute of it. I wish I had could have stayed to see it. I love you both.
❤❤❤❤❤

What song was played in the sound sample? Amazing
Nice. All the best.
