Accordion Fingering Chart (bass) October 7, 2009

I finally found an accordion fingering chart. See it here:
http://www.accordionlinks.com/play.html (Under; “The Bass”> “Layout”)

This what you were looking for? Then please look at our sponsors websites and help me make some money.

I also found this on that same page:

“If your accordion has more bass buttons, 80, 96 or 120, then see Hans Palm’s Stradella basses layout page; the extra columns are simply copies of columns that are there already: e.g. the next column on the right would be the C sharp column. But that is simply D flat under a different name. (an 80 bass accordion does not have the diminished row)”
From “Accordion Links — How To Play”

Please visit their website, it looks like it has many useful resources.

I am not associated with the linked content in any way

Thanks, I'd been looking for that map for *ages*!

I was shocked at how difficult it was to actually find an accordion fingering chart. I figured the least I could do would be to provide link support to the only website I could find that had a decent one.
Oh, fun way to remember the layout:
It’s the circle of fifths.
