Hello dear accordionist friends!
I am currently studying "Fantaisie Musette" a waltz by Jo Privat & André Verchuren. At bars 7 - 15 -26 is indicated an A7# dim. from C# on which chord should I go? I have a 120 bass accordion not equipped with the dim row. Thanks in advance for your help. ♪♫♪

Hello, if I understand correctly, an A# is a Bb. For the 'dim' tuning, a 120 bass accordion would have 6 columns of buttons and the column furthest from the bellows should be the one of the diminished chords? This last one is '7thdim' without the fifth???

hello, on accordions that have 3 rows of chords the last row on the outside of the body is in fact a diminished fifth. This allows you to play diminished chords. I won't go into the details of the harmony. So to make a diminished chord you just have to play the 7th chord which are one row down. Example to make a diminished C play the F7. For your request of the diminished A sharp (which is equal to Bb) play a button lower or Eb 7th. Or if it is too far for your score any note of the same vertical rank as the Eb, i.e. C7, Eb7, F sharp7 or A7. My explanation is of course only valid on accordions with 3 rows of chords. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Jean-Yves Sixt from Switzerland

You can also add a Lab7 to the F7 It sounds even more "diminished".

A#7dim = Bb7dim or the notes (harmonically) C#-e-G-sib = buttons together of A7 + C7 or A7 + F#7 depending on the sequences you have to do
