Detail eines Akkordeons

My first time in Switzerland, I saw an accordion orchestra at the train station. They played a wonderful concert.

I also like accordion music a lot. It usually makes a happy mood, but can also be melancholy.

lovely details, a photogenic instrument.
I did one too of this instrument.

Do I understand that correctly, that you yourself have built such instruments? This is very interesting and impressive that you can do this, Wierd!

Sehr schöne Aufnahmen!

Dankeschön, Hansruedi!

Like some modern art composition! =)

Thanks, Sami! That's why I found this part of the accordion also particularly well suited for this "black and white challenge".

very nice, it's funny to see all the square formats this week.....

Yes, that's really a slightly different compilation of photos. Although they have different motives, all the pictures look like a harmonious family together, I think.

Tolle Graphic, schöne Graustufen; nüchtern und klar ! Klasse Bild, Stevia !

Herzlichen Dank für dein tolles Kompliment, Ulrich!

Klasse Fotos, mit dem Hauptbild hast du die richtige Wahl getroffen! Tango- dafür nimmt man doch das Bandoneon, nicht Akkordeon;-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_pLL278zoM

Vielen Dank, Gudrun! Ein interessanter Gedanke und Vergleich von dir! Warum dieses Akkordeon allerdings ausgerechnet den Namen "Tango" erhielt, weiß ich leider nicht. Aber schau' mal, was ich gefunden habe!. Tangotänzer und ein Akkordeonspieler! Geht doch ganz gut zusammen, oder? ;-)

Lovely heirloom you have Stevia + a good set of photos ... well done !!!

Cordial thanks, Marj!

Beautiful detail and lovely to keep.

I'm glad you like it! Many thanks!

Always good to see such accordions Stevia. The mono suits well but I presume it is really black but I think they made these in red too. I used to also own a white 'Tango' accordion but it was older than this. I now play and posses some others though. Thanks for sharing.

Best Wishes, Herb

Thanks for your comment, Herb! This is a red accordion. In the right PIP you can see it in the original color and also the complete accordion.
I think it's wonderful that you can play the accordion; I can't play it unfortunately.

Thanks for this Stevia. I had missed, completely your hidden PiPs. The red one looks wonderful indeed. I have the Hohner Trichord button accordion in the same red colour. As I get older and my body a little weaker, I now play mostly the same accordions (sampled by me - the same recorded accordeon sounds) on my Yamaha Tyros electronic keyboard so I still get a sense of the sounds without my arms hurting me :) However I still get a kick out of the unique live breathing sound under my chin! I play much Germanic type' Volks Musik' and Tango music as suits my German heritage.

Best Wishes and thanks. Herbert

Yes, Herbert, this is a good and interesting idea and alternative for you to play the accordion sounds on your electronic keyboard. What all not does possible! ;-)

All the best to you and many greetings sends Stevia

I see Horner makes accordions as well as harmonicas. If I knew that I forgot. Every time I see a accordion I think of folks having a grand time dancing the Polka. :) ( of course folks dance more than the polka with accordions) Nice series Jan. :)

Many thanks, Chris! Yes, I think, accordion music raises the mood right away and is great for musical entertainment on celebrations. The often cheerful music also goes very good at fast in the dance leg ... :) When my parents were still young and they celebrated with their friends and relatives at home, a lot of accordion was played and sung. They had a lot of fun doing it. I have never experienced so much joy of life in a cozy atmosphere at modern parties with music from the CD player. ;-)

Ich hab auch noch ein Hohner Akkordeon im Keller stehen. Leider schon sehr lange nicht mehr benutzt. :-((

In dem Fall kannst du es spielen? Klasse! Hole es doch gelegentlich mal wieder hervor und mache Musik, vielleicht in gemütlicher Runde daheim. Das gibt eine wunderbare Stimmung! :)
Wenn das Akkordeon allerdings schon sehr lange nicht mehr benutzt wurde, muß es jedoch vermutlich erst einmal gestimmt werden. Das sagte mir mal ein Verkäufer in einem Musikinstrumentegeschäft...

Ja. es klingt inzwischen sehr schräge. Ich habe vor 50 Jahren gelernt, es zu spielen, war auch bei uns im Akkordeon-Orchester, dann kamen die Kinder, an Weihnachten mal 1-2 Lieder gespielt und irgendwann gar nicht mehr. Alles hat seine Zeit. Aber das Instrument ist noch da und es sind doch die Erinnerungen, die bleiben.
Wünsche Dir einen schönen Tag.

Ja, so empfinde ich es ebenfalls, wenn du sagst: "Es sind doch die Erinnerungen, die bleiben." So ähnlich geht's mir auch mit diesem Akkordeon. Ich kann es zwar nicht spielen, aber es gehörte einst meinem inzwischen verstorbenen Vater. In meiner Kindheit spielte er gern darauf.

Excellent patterns and tones, great shot!

Many thanks, Gillian!

Nice detail of a new accordion. The sound seems to me very suggestive Best wishes, Anton.

Nice detail of new accordion. I´ts sound is one of the most suggestive in the world of music

Thanks a lot, Anton! Yes, because of the sound you are certainly right.

Excellent ;-)
Have a great new week.

Many thanks, June!

Fine collection of forms: rectangles, lines and circles.

I'm pleased you enjoy this, Diederik! Many thanks!

Belle série

Thanks a lot, Champland!

Kannst Du das spielen? Ich liebe Akkordeonmusik!
