BobM said:Really putting the cat amongst the pigeons now, but a far more important topic for me is, why are some able accordionists so reluctant to use any bass note other that the Root? Depending on which bass note is chosen, the Dim chord is a 4 note Dim7. IMO this where the power of the Stradella lies, not chord plus chord combining, but Bass to chord combining.
Ive been following this topic with a lot of interest.
Id also be interested in thoughts on use of bass notes other than the root - Ill take the liberty of starting a new discussion on that....
