Why buy this accordion?
One Row accordions are played in a "driving" uptempo rhythm, like a fiddle.
Matt's Rant: People around the world have bought this specific model because of it's easy playability. The Ariette is a great way for you to begin to connect to the great music which has originated in the Mississippi delta of the deep south. In this small region, music such as the blues, jazz, cajun, creole, zydeco, folk and gospel were born. Personally, I have re-connected and dove into the past again in the wake of the recent hurricanes, to grab the roots of where modern music began. The music world owes an incredible amount of debt to this area that has given so much.
Let us not forget Folk styles, two steps, waltzes, jigs and reels which this accordion can be used for. Webster's definition of folk music is: "traditional and typically anonymous music that is an expression of the life of the people in a community." English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Australian and Canadian traditionals from era 1600-1900 are very important in the fabric of the Folk music world.
