Tell you what! I really think you might look at roland fr1x digital online. Believe me the price is not a little steep, but it turns out a fantastic solution to the weight and size and finding the appropriate sound for your genre, and so many others all in one box. I don,t think many owners would part with theirs. I,ve thought about it but no. My discovery is that I can play from just about any melody chord sheet music by a trick of transposing manually up a 5th so that the existing c becomes g and so forth, by far the most logical substitution, and we thereby make the 26 notes far more useful, if we get used to it, not forgetting the button pressing transpose feature. I,m sure a big enthusiast would bite the bullet and get one! And remember the bellows options for extremely realistic response. I reckon this is it. It's a 26x72 marvel. You should hear the orchestraĺ sounds, and the double bass!

Hmmm. A lot of players look down their noses at a transpose function
because the idea is to learn to play in all keys, but this suggestion
for expanding a limited keyboard is a good one!

Not that I'm interested in another accordion at this time ...
