With a button accordion there are two situations: some have all buttons in the same color, no textured keys, no "secret" dots on the side to indicate which are "black" keys. I estimate that about 1/3 of the accordions are convertor instruments and thus have melody bass (which is hardly ever used in the orchestra). It took around 6 years with quite some time practicing to get back to our "old" level, but now that we are used to button accordion there is no going back.Ĭlick to expand.I play in a good accordion orchestra with mostly piano accordions and a few button ones. So we have extensive experience with both systems. My wife and I played piano accordion for decades and switched to button accordion (C system) 13 years ago. When you want to play simple songs, mostly in keys of C, G or F, then piano accordion is easier as you will be using mostly white keys. So when you have large chords and large jumps, a button accordion is easier. Can can easily play three of the same note, each an octave apart, but on a piano accordion nobody can do this as we cannot span two octaves. The most important difference however is that distances on a button accordion are smaller, so you can reach further. (On the other hand, a chromatic glissando is impossible on a piano accordion.) The way music is traditionally composed however, the white keys often do have importance, and music sometimes contains a "white-key-glissando" for instance, which is impossible to do on a button accordion. Button is in some sense more logical because it's a chromatic pattern over 3 rows, no complicated messing with the differences between white and black keys, with black keys sticking out also. For adults it's "a bit harder" but again, on all systems. Children can learn piano accordion or button (any system) rather easily. Click to expand.Each has its own benefits and difficulties.
