I played on 3 Fratelli Crosio. They were recommended to me by my teacher oscar mondial. He swore by Fratelli Crosio. You can find them quite easily for less than 1000 euros. I sold them at that price. You can still find craftsmen to tune them. Yes, they go out of tune, especially if you don't play them anymore.

I still have my fratelli crosio super junior, 80 bass, 2 way keyboard vocal, a Stradella, with the crest. It was bought in 1964 for my 8th birthday. Only once overhauled, retuned, a few skins re-tensioned. It's a legendary brand. I have a pupil who has just bought a 120 bass, 3 voices right hand, 2 registers left hand. I tried it out. Frankly, 1000 €, well tuned recently, it's great. Why are there so many of them on the market: the brand died out about ten years ago, the owners are getting old, can't play anymore, there must have been a time when one family in 5 had a bass.

Next, we played the accordion. And Fratelli Crosio was the trademark of Verchren, Aimable, Yvette Horner, ... Do the math. There are also Cavagnolos and Paolo Soprani, a matter of taste when it comes to musette tuning. Mine has been re-tuned American.
Good evening,
I might be interested in a used "Giustozzi 3 voices" accordion
I am not at all familiar with this brand.
So if you own an identical instrument I would like to hear from you.
Best regards

Hello,
Could someone explain to me in "simple words" because I don't understand the difference between register and voice? And what does register 4x4 mean?
I'm just looking for a used accordion with 3 or 4 different sounds on the right and I'm lost in the details. Thanks to you

Thank you very much. I understand better. In fact, in my search for an accordion, I just need to know the number of registers.
Sincerely
Hello everyone, do you know the website musik-center.de? Are they real sellers of used accordions or is it a scam? I say that because there are really great opportunities with them but I don't know why, I have a doubt. See you soon for your answers, Jérome

Hello Jérôme !
For my part, I bought from musik-center.de in September 2018 a second-hand revised Weltmeister Kristall 60 bass accordion. I placed the order on September 15 with Paypal payment, and I received the instrument on September 22. Everything was in order and compliant. Nothing to complain about. This is only my personal experience, and I hope you can get other opinions that will confirm...
Have a good trip and good music.

Hi Jerome,
If you want, please let me know about your experience with them.
Have a nice day!
Hello,
Bravo for the new site !
As an amateur accordionist, I have the opportunity from time to time to play in medium-sized halls or outdoors. The sound volume of my accordion (a Ballonne Burini) is then insufficient
What type of microphone (for right and left hand), mounting and amp is recommended for this situation? I play mainly seated and I usually have a power supply nearby
Thank you in advance for your advice

Hello and thank you tougui :)
Hello,
I just bought a new used accordion equipped with a musictech King Major midi system. There was no documentation with ....
By connecting it with an xd3, I meet some problems.
If someone has the French manual of this system, I'm interested!
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Sorry, I thought I had introduced myself when I registered in March but apparently I didn't so I'm doing it now

I live in the ALLIER 03 near MOULINS in BRESNAY more precisely
I am retired since one year and I took again the music to know the chromatic accordion.
I learned at the age of 9 years and I played until 20 years I stopped for professional and family reasons. I was part of an accordion club with which we animated dances.
I bought a second hand fratelli crosio 120 basses identical to the one I had when I was young (crush) but unfortunately too heavy, so I bought at the beginning of the year a roland FR3XB that I find great and I'm very happy with it even though the sound does not compete with my fratelli.
Sincerely
Christine

hello and welcome cocott03 . I know the Allier very well since I worked there for France Telecom for many years. Office in Moulin and in Ebreuil . About fifty kms separate us; we are almost neighbors. Do you know "lilot part" in Moulin ??? if you are part of the accordion club of Moulin you have been in my fief in Fourchambault during the meetings of harmonies of all horizons. You were the only one at this meeting (in white and red) if I remember. Happy to meet you neighbor Bourbonne, I love your region; country of Rene Fallet, the jacquemard brothers. You knew "Lucien Thomas" Domi Emorine and certainly Paul Chalier (alias Pablo Cagliero) further down. I believe that we would have much to tell. Welcome cocott03

Hello to all you musicians,

I would like to know if some of you use or know the BK7M from Roland and if it is easy to use for a novice in the musical accompaniment equipment, its performances and its quality. I have been surfing the internet but have not found enough details except on the vendor sites.
I bought a FR3X accordion at the beginning of the year and despite its numerous accompaniment possibilities (left hand)
I would like to try an arranger.
I play alone a lot of musette and a little variety and I animate small private and public parties.

Could I find a second hand one because I have a small budget (300€) and what are the worries I could have if it's a second hand one, wear of parts etc..
I thank you in advance for taking the trouble to advise me.
Sincerely, musically
Christine

Hello,
I am always surprised to find this type of question on "Accordion Scores"...
I've mentioned it several times: for Roland accordions and the BK7M among others, there is a great site:
http://accordeon-roland.superforum.fr/
You will find there for example a user's guide for the FRX3 written by two members of the forum and much more usable than the one from Roland!
Noten: personally, I can't help you; I have an FR1Xb, but no nBK7M. I have seen it demoed in a store, and at home by an nforum user who came to show it to me.
Note: read the user's charter before (take the trouble to introduce yourself before asking a question, it's better...).
On the other hand, I doubt you'll find one at 300 €...

Hello,

I have a BK7M that I use with a FR3 but more often with a Cava Odyssey 3.
The reason? The BK7m is easy to use with a lot of fun, many styles etc. MP3 and all other forms of files it offers a good choice for the price. You can find it at 450/500 Euros (LBC) or Audiofanzine http://fr.audiofanzine.com/expandeur/roland/bk-7m/

The instrumental score is not exceptional: guitar, accordion, violin, in short, lacks realism, so the Odyssey sounds better without being a Digit.

Cavag31 is right the site he gives is still the most appropriate for Roland instruments.

Hello:
Cocote 03 I saw that you registered on the Roland accordion forum on the advice of Cava 31 whom I greet in passing
.you will have a mine of information on the FR accordions and on the B.K.7M and other arrangers
I confirm that the BK 7 is very easy to connect to a Roland accordion and that you can do many things with it.
good dayRobinson

Hello to you,
Thank you all for your advice.
Indeed the superforum of roland is rich in infos a little too pro for me who is novice in this kind of material.

At my time it did not exist it was necessary to have musicians drummer, guitarist etc.
I discover now all that.

I also know the site sud claviers on which I had surfed for the demos of the accordion FR and I also saw the demo of the BK7. Actually I would like to know if I would be able to use it before investing. I live in the Allier region of France and I'm going to check with my music teacher to see if he knows anyone who has one.
Thank you again for everything and for your forum, I find all the scores I'm looking for it's really great this sharing. I will do my best to post some myself.
Musically yours.
Christine
Hello. I am a 58 years old amateur accordionist and after a few years off where I dedicated myself to the bass guitar, I am back to my first love! I have just bought a Cavagnolo vedette 5, 120 basses second hand and it is with great pleasure that I discovered this site really well designed and very efficient answering my expectations. A big thank you to the designers and musicians who allow these nice and useful exchanges. Long life to Partitions Accordéon and good music to all.

Good evening Bignou, Like the other members, I also welcome you among us. May this site bring you a favorable answer to your search for scores or advice. I see that we are (within a year) the same age, and that we play on the same brand of accordion. Indeed, I offered myself the last born baby of CAVA; the digit millennium. It's the best! It is all digital and especially less heavy than my old one which was acoustic and digital. Its weight was becoming unbearable for my back because of the various options on it (HF etc...). Go to YOUTUBE and type DIGIT CAVAGNOLO you will appreciate, I'm sure, the demonstrations of Matthieu who is the designer of this excellent product.well musically and very confraternally.MUSETTE27

Thank you for your very nice messages, there is really something to enjoy on the site and it works well which is appreciable.Musette 27, yes I have already visited the site of Cavagnolo of course and the digit has interested me well for its possibilities and its weight contained compared to mine! But it's the financial side that's holding me back for the moment ! I'm going to start with the one I have and it's still a great instrument compared to the Maugein étude 80 basses I kept religiously !!! I think it will be the gift of my retirement in 2017.Good day to all and good music, looking forward to reading you.Sincerely.François.
Hello to all of you. I wanted to inform you that the association "accordion pluriel" of the city of Montpellier in the context of its festival which will take place from 17 / 09 / 15 to 20 / 09 / 15, organizes its first musical flea market on Sunday, September 20 from 9am to 13 h. If you wish to hold a stand, here is the phone number to contact: 06 60 82 41 54. In the sights of this demonstration, in the breasts of a t it city, it appeared legitimate to me to inform you about it. Those interested by that one, will have the occasion in measure of their free time; to make knowledge with members of P.A....
