...if nothing else it seems PA has benefits for pianists.
Will learning the piano improve my accordion skills?

Its also the problem with the English and America- we have a level of irony that doesn't quite transplant across the ocean
The irony transplants fine with enough exposure to British comedies. I’ve picked it up and so has my son. However, my countrymen sometimes can’t tell when I’m joking… I suppose a deadpan delivery works the same as text with no emojis.Its also the problem with the English and America- we have a level of irony that doesn't quite transplant across the ocean

The piano is finally starting to make sense to me...

This question is always asked of me (because I play accordion) you should be able to play the piano too?

Seems nobody wants an old standard piano where I live, so a free piano is what I would recommend. It costs to get rid of them and small businesses have been started dismantling them. There is no joke on how heavy they are to move though!

I play both an equal amount of time. My piano-playing skills are mediocre, mostly because of a pathetic left hand. I did play in a piano bar while in college for a couple years, basically faking it with simple chords on the left hand while the right hand was respectable. I abused the heck out of slash chords.
I've never found much difference in transitioning to accordions after playing piano. But then again, I've never noticed much difference transitioning from plastic Roland FR-8X keys to wooden acoustic keys either. I guess I've played all of them so much that I instinctively know how they play.
I'm pretty big into synths and tend to spend a lot of time duplicating Pet Shop Boys sounds and songs from my youth in the 80s. It's weird, for sure.
Just as I could never be without an accordion, I can't be without a synthesizer. My FR-8X has been in the shop since December 9th getting a new MIDI board. I cannot tell you how much I miss it. I have noticed I've played my acoustics about half the amount of time I normally play the accordion - and I've about doubled the amount of time I play the piano.

I bet pulling the bellows on THAT takes a strong left arm!
Hahaha!!! thats one LONG left arm!!!!!
I think this one is a lot more applicable to the accordions, rather than the pianos.
I've got 6 accordions. JerryPH has about 20. But how many pianos can you keep in a house?
16. but one is a diatonic and one is a B-system button, and no more purchases are getting in!I've got 6 accordions. JerryPH has about 20. But how many pianos can you keep in a house?
May a Fisa, will get in, if you can get a deal like you did on your 8X.16. but one is a diatonic and one is a B-system button, and no more purchases are getting in!
Hmmm... I really don't know if that will ever happen. I bought mine for less than half cost and it was still so new that it was on it's FIRST charge. Even then, $4000US is still about $6500 Canadian after duty and taxes. I'd have to think long and hard if I would want to do that.
Honestly, not likely even at that price, but your kind sentiments are sincerely appreciated!
