48 bass accordion

[Moko]

I have a 48 bass 4 rows of 12. Following basic accordion books that require the seventh chord row to be used. As I don't have this row is there any alternative. Or can I just not play the piece

Someone may post the answer here eventually. In the meantime either leave the chords out or play a repeat of the fundamental bass?

Just play the major chord instead of seventh. C major is C E G, C7 is C E G Bb. So you are missing the Bb but the other notes are part of the desired chord.

You can play the 7th in the right hand if you really miss it. (The Bb).

By not playing the 7th, there is no "mistake", but the major chord is just not as "rich". You can use the counterbass to make the music piece less redundant and more interesting. On YouTube, the Accordion Love guy has a couple of videos that should help. Happy playing!
