WHAT IS "THING INSIDE THE BOX"?
Thomann is going to send me a mystery box every month and challenge me with whatever’s inside. It could be an instrument, new equipment or anything else music related.
I’m going to take you along with me and capture my progress each and every day and if there’s anything else exciting happening that week, you’ll get to see that as well.
I will then incorporate the instrument/equipment etc. into one of my videos where I sing and play the guitar, which you'll get to see two weeks after the first challenge video goes up.

My first thought was "Oh wow, to just be _given_ and accordion," then I remembered that not only was _I_ literally given my accordion, my neighbor _paid me_ $5 to move it out of her house and told me I could keep it if I wanted.

Nice!! Love it!! Did you figure out how the base key are laid-out left-right? Its pretty cool once you do.
Some accordion come with a little resistance wheel to which you can make the bellows easier or harder to push and pull. I found it’s easier for me to control the bellows with a little more resistance.
I want to learn accordion so bad. Your excitement when you opened the package… I felt that

15:59 autumn leaves or Les Feuilles Mortes. one of my favourite songs. its fun when you pick up a new instrument and a tune pops out by itself. I think it is because someone played it before on the instrument leaving an energy imprint which get transfered to you when you play it.

I wonder if you have to return the instruments Thomann sends you for these video's. If not, you're a lucky girl. Just a quick search on Thomann's website shows that the accordion you were given cost's €380,- on it's own. I don't even want to know what the rest of the instruments cost, like the Moog Theremini. Moog is expensive. Anyway, i love this series. Liked and subscribed :)
Nicole, du bist einfach fantastisch!
I bought a new piano accordion while I was living and working in West Germany in the 1970s. I still have it, but it is worn out. Several notes don't sound at all and the instrument desperately needs re-tuning. Some years ago, back in England, I thought again of my old accordion and whether I should buy another. But I was astonished to find how much the prices had increased in 30 years. But your video is making me think again! There's no point considering having the old one refurbished. It would cost too much. As I recall, it was Thomann whose website I looked at.
What's that accordion called? Like brand and model. Looking for one that's not too big and heavy, looks decent size
Very cool 😎
AWESOME idea! I never thought about doing a challenge to learn an instrument. Sounds great! I play bass, guitar and drums...but want to learn accordion since i inherited one, I am gonna give it a shot. Did I miss the song...or did you play one through?
Beautiful🤗👍
The look of the accordion seems to be nice, or like my old PDP Cx Black Onyx would say: Please kill me, cut me in piece and burn me to the ground! No but really, nice surface! (really, really :]) Edit: Mario Batkovic. Accordion at its best

Accordion - one of the few instruments that you actually hug in order to play it!

@UCJ8ECOhEKZNKgIJ7YfFeKXg Glad you did some Jazz Accordion as a Keyboardist w/ Autumn leaves. I'd imagine you know how to play Keyboards so you probably can play Piano Accordion right away as a Keyboardist. There's also the Keytar (Alesis Vortex Wireless 2) which allows you to get out from behind the Keyboard stand & play standing up like Guitarists, & the Keytar is the cousin of the Electric Accordion. Usually there's a microphone installed so that you can plug into an amp & play.
How did you learn to play a Guitar
I found this looking for polka music and I am not disappointed
What's the song at 16:55?
Wtf, can't understand why we are walking down a road to go to a Swedish furniture shop has to do with playing an accordion.
Actually the buttons to the left are bass the main source of the accordion sound is in the piano keys
And also there’s a release valve for the pressure
My accordion came with no packaging, shipped from Philadelphia all the bass keys were pushed in and broken hehe
Nicole, did you Took classes on-line?
You Sing Very good.
Don't forget to open the strap at the bottom of the bellows, as well as the top.
Good luck enjoying playing the accordion. The sky is the limit. I have been playing over 30 years and still too much to learn. What is not always appreciated is the fact that the accordion is a 'free reed' and not a 'keyboard' instrument which translates that the primary source of 'musicality' comes from the control of the 'compression of air' in the bellows. Once this is controlled, the hands then interact with the keyboards to release air to pass the reeds. Rather like Dizzy Gillespie on the trumpet with his blown up cheeks. You could live 200 years and still not have enough time.
