anyone near boston or have any accordion playing friends in boston?

i just got a diatonic sofia mari 12 bass accordion and i love accordions, but I don't know how to play them, esp. diatonic accordions.

i want to learn to play more than anything or at least have someone give me an idea of how to read accordion music or provide me with links where I can teach myself.

this is a strange looking accordion and i'm finding much more difficult than piano accordions.

thanks a bunch!

    hey medly,

    i was just directed to a guy named paul groff who seems to teach beginners on the diatonic/button accordion:

    www.groffsmusic.com/

    hope this is helpful! all the other accordionists i know are piano accordionists....

    good luck!!

      actually..... paul groff isn't in town anymore. i just contacted him to see if he could help fix my piano accordion. turned out he packed up and moved to florida! bummer.....

      if i meet any diatonic accordionists along the way i'll be sure to let you know.

      take care!
