How much bass to choose — 48, 72, 96 or 120?

The number of bass buttons defines the left-hand range and the instrument's size. 48 and 60 bass are compact and light, well suited to children and beginners. 72 bass is a versatile choice for learning and amateur playing. 96 and 120 bass offer the full range for serious and concert performance, but the instrument is larger and heavier. We'll suggest the best option for the player's level and physique.

Piano or button accordion — which to choose?

A piano accordion has a familiar piano keyboard, so it's intuitive for those who have played piano. A button accordion (including the bayan) has buttons for the right hand: it's more compact, offers a wider range in the same size and is popular in folk and academic playing. The choice depends on your musical background, the style of music and preference — we'll help you decide.

What are the registers (switches) of an accordion?

Registers are switches that engage different combinations of reeds (voices) and change the instrument's timbre: from a soft 'bassoon' to a bright 'musette'. More registers give a wider palette of timbres. They are usually located above the keyboard (treble registers) and on the body for the left hand. The number of registers depends on the instrument's class.

What is a digital accordion (Roland V-Accordion)?

A digital accordion is an electronic instrument that reproduces the sound of various accordions and orchestral timbres without reeds. It lets you adjust the volume, play with headphones, needs no reed tuning, is lighter than an acoustic one and has many sounds in one body. The Roland V-Accordion (FR series) is the best-known example. It's a convenient solution for the stage, studio and home practice.

Which accordion to choose for a child?

For a child, weight and size matter: choose a compact accordion with 48 or 60 bass and a smaller keyboard, so the instrument isn't too heavy and the child can hold it freely and reach the keys. Lighter two-voice models are easier to start with. As they grow and their technique develops, they can move to 72 or 96 bass. We'll suggest a model by age and height.

Accordions

Q: How does an accordion differ from a bayan?

An accordion usually has a piano keyboard for the right hand (a piano accordion), whereas a bayan is a type of button accordion with buttons instead of keys. In both instruments the left hand plays bass and chords on buttons, and the sound is made by metal reeds through which air is pushed by the bellows. A piano accordion is more convenient for those who have played piano; a button accordion (bayan) is more compact in range and common in folk music.

Q: How many voices (reeds) do you need?

Voices (reed banks) define the fullness and loudness of the sound. Two-voice accordions are lighter and quieter — for starting out and home; three-voice ones give a fuller sound for learning and the stage; four-voice ones have the richest timbre for professionals. A 'musette' tuning adds a characteristic French sound. We'll suggest the number of voices for your style and level.

Piano, button and digital accordions for learning, folk and the stage

An accordion is a portable free-reed instrument: the right hand plays the melody on keys or buttons, the left hand plays bass and chords on bass buttons, and the sound is born when the bellows push air through metal reeds. Registers change the timbre from a soft 'bassoon' to a bright 'musette'. At SoundsGood — Hohner and Weltmeister piano accordions, Roland V-Accordion digital accordions, plus button accordions and bayans to order. 48–120 bass, for learning, folk music and the stage. Genuine instruments with a warranty, delivery across Ukraine.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How does an accordion differ from a bayan?

An accordion usually has a piano keyboard on the right, while a bayan has buttons (a type of button accordion). In both, the left hand plays bass and chords, and reeds make the sound. A piano accordion suits pianists; a button accordion/bayan is more compact and popular in folk.

How much bass to choose?

48–60 — compact, for children and beginners; 72 — versatile for learning; 96–120 — the full range for the stage, but larger and heavier. We'll suggest by level and physique.

Piano or button?

A piano accordion is intuitive for those who have played piano. A button accordion (bayan) is more compact, offers a wider range in the same size and is common in folk and academic playing.

Switches that engage reed combinations and change the timbre — from 'bassoon' to 'musette'. More registers = a wider palette. The number depends on the instrument's class.

How many voices do you need?

Which accordion for a child?

A compact 48–60-bass one with a smaller keyboard, so it isn't too heavy. Lighter two-voice models are easier to start with; later — a move to 72–96 bass.
