"The one-row button #accordion is a humble instrument. It embraces its limitations. It can only play in one key. The note changes for each button if you push or you pull the bellows, so playing it feels like wrestling a little animal." #bandcamp https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/cajun-creole-accordion-music-guide

🪗 didact: the author of that #bandcamp piece made a couple errorsOne row diatonic #accordion can play in more than one key if the keys don’t require the full chromatic scale
The player does become limited beyond a few keys, and has to be more and more skilled to hide the “gaps” in keys the instrument wasn’t built to play easily in
#Louisiana’s French fiddle music lost a lot of tunes that couldn’t be played on one-row accordions
But not all but one key

🪗 didact 2:And I think Boozoo Chavez was mostly known for playing three-row diatonic #accordion, not the one-row that became more popular with younger #Creole #zydeco players

Be interesting to know if it’s just availability, or cost or style?Some of the nicest one-row so called #Cajun accordions have been custom built in #Louisiana over the years
Not so, larger three-rows, or fully chromatic piano #accordion like Clifton Chénier played that made it possible to mix in blues and R&B to create #zydeco
Early one-row 🪗 couldn’t play #blues easily so it got left out of most Black American music
#Zydeco is the exception with backstory
