Button Bayans for Learning, Academic and Concert Playing
Bayans are free-reed bellows instruments with a chromatic button keyboard for the right hand and a bass-and-chord system for the left. The buttons give a wider range in a compact body and are common in the academic school and folk music. They come as student, concert and free-bass (converter) models (for academic repertoire). At SoundsGood — Weltmeister, Pigini, Bugari, Scandalli and other brands, models from children's to concert, an official warranty, delivery across Ukraine. A consultation is in Kyiv. We'll suggest a bayan for level and programme.

The left-hand system determines what repertoire you can play. Here's how standard and free bass compare.

🔍 What to look at when choosing
🎼 Bass system
Standard or free-bass — the main choice. For music school and concert you need free-bass; for amateur playing, standard bass is enough.
🔢 Number of basses and rows
Student 60–80 basses, concert — 120 with a full set of button rows. More means more capability and more weight.
🎚️ Registers
Timbre switches on the right and left keyboards, sometimes with a chin switch. More registers means a wider palette for repertoire.
⚖️ Weight and size
Match to age and build — especially for children. The condition of the bellows and action is critical for sound and control. We'll suggest a model.

❓ Frequently asked questions
What is a bayan and how does it differ from an accordion?
A bayan is a free-reed bellows instrument with a chromatic button keyboard for the right hand (unlike an accordion's piano one) and a bass-and-chord system for the left. The buttons give a wider range in a compact body. The bayan is common in academic playing; an accordion is more intuitive for pianists.
What button system does it have?
The right keyboard has several rows of buttons (usually 3 main + auxiliary, 5 rows) laid out chromatically: any key with the same fingering and a wide range without moving the hand. In the Eastern European school — B-griff (B-system).
Standard or free bass?
Standard bass gives ready chords with one button — for accompaniment and stage. Free-bass lets you play single notes with the left hand for academic and polyphonic repertoire. For school and concert — free-bass; for amateurs — standard.
How many rows and basses do I need?
Student — fewer basses (60–80) and a simpler keyboard. Concert — full-size 120 basses, a full set of rows and a free-bass system. For children — lightweight. Be guided by level, programme and age. We'll suggest a configuration.
What are registers?
Switches that engage different sets of reeds and change the timbre — from a soft, deep to a bright sound. They come on the right and left keyboards, sometimes with a chin switch. More registers means a wider palette.
Which bayan for a child or learning?
Lightweight student bayans with a smaller keyboard — light for small hands. For school, a free-bass one according to the programme is usually needed. Weight, size and the action's condition matter. We'll suggest for the programme and physical data.
Is it hard to switch from accordion to bayan?
Possible, but it takes mastering the button right keyboard. The left hand works similarly on both. The button logic is different, the fingering is relearned. Many musicians play both. At the start, it's better to choose for your goal.
