Suggestions of accordion suitable for English folk

"Cobblers" as in "Cobblers' Awls."
Might be worth a quick search?
Oh and over here it can rhyme with "Rowlocks."

Would that have something to do with "A bus full of retired shoemakers"?

That would be good. I sometimes play the root of the chord in the right hand, but I'm some way from being able to pick out the 3rd, 5th or 7th at speed. Just a more of more practice needed I think.

CBA has constant chord shapes (once you get to 4 rows, that is: 3-row instruments have special shapes for a third of the chords). This is because all basic chords get along with just two rows (fully diminshed take just 1 row and, well, augmented and suspended chords need 3 after all).
