The keyboard on top of the right knee - witout any apparent detriment to the performance:

Unusual way of holding her accordion
- Thread starter Ffingers
- Start date
What is important is the position of the right arm. Because the keyboard on the bayan is further forward the treble side needs to be less far to the left. And because the accordion is less tall it actually fits on the right leg, which is impossible with large piano accordions.

Bravo. Wonderful performance.
I have seen many bayanist playing like this. It is part of what they learn in Eastern European school of arts. For what I understand, that balancing is needed for right positioning of the instrument with difficult repertoire.

I viewed that fine performance again, listened with great pleasure and observed that she, like so many top class CBA players, has productively ignored the writings by teaching "experts" on the correct "systems" to use when organising one's fingering of the keys.
Pedagoguery be damned.
Absolutely great playing ! Brava !
Very nicely done. I am loving all the extremely musically talented and lovely gals showing up on YouTube playing Free bass, a trend that I approve!! 
It is positioned where the right hand falls naturally when folding the right arm. So it's very comfortable because it brings the elbow forward.
