We're having a little contest, running until the end of March. Please feel free to enter - see the thread in the "I Did That" section of the forum. Don't be shy, have a go!
I am a trombone player and piano accordionist with the 126th Army Band. I am most interested in Czech music, polkas and waltzes. I am also an accordion repairman and tuner.
Hi, good to have you on board. You'll have seen this is a helpful and friendly forum, hope you enjoy it.
JimD has been "our resident repair professional" for a good while, and very generous with his time and knowledge he is, but good to have someone else too who can give a qualified view.
Do you have Czech connections or is that simply a music that appeals to you? Any particular video clips online you can point us to to get a flavour?
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom,
I look forward to meeting new accordionists. My most special Czech connection is my beautiful wife, who is from that country. My grandparents were Lithuanian and Russian but lived in a Czech neighborhood in Cleveland. My great-grandfather was from Warsaw, Poland and was an accordion maker. My favorite Czech accordion players are Renata and Josef Pospisil:
I look forward to learning from other players around the world and to sharing ideas about music and repair.
