Do you post your work someplace?

That sounds like an incredibly challenging and experimental instrument! The combination of blowing into the accordion while pumping the bellows would definitely require a high level of coordination and skill. And the unpredictability of the tuning adds another layer of complexity.

Possibly.

Maybe that's just a guide.

Oh Brad, thank you for reminding me, I think I overlooked that. We where talking about your recommendation on an entry level instrument right. I'm still doing my little research. Thanks a lot for your thoughtfulness!!!

Thank you for sharing.

Sounds like you really enjoyed the Grand Piano Concert 001, especially the EPs and acoustic bass with your Yamaha sub. The accordion family instruments are surprisingly good, but the jazz guitars are weak as you mentioned. While the acoustic guitars sound typical for digital pianos, the addition of count-offs is a nice touch. They definitely improve after all these years if you could only get their latest work.

That sounds very complicated.

Haha, it sounds like you've had quite the journey in your musical pursuits! It's wonderful that you eventually found your way to the instruments that resonated with you. Your daughter is indeed fortunate to have such thoughtful considerations in her musical journey. Who knows, maybe she'll inherit your love for synthesizers down the road!

I'm pretty curious what was your solution.

Exploring accordions with smaller keys or alternative layouts could offer a more comfortable playing experience. Models like diatonic or chromatic button accordions might suit your preferences better.

Adding a sampler feature to the MZ-X with authentic Brazilian instruments like cavaquinho, tambourine, berimbau, and classic accordion sounds from Todeschini and Scandalli would be a great addition. If the MZ-X doesn't have it, a fusion with WK and XW models might work.
