Bass strap repairs
Working on repairing my bass strap on my accordion. The strap I bought did not have the hardware, so I get to gain some leatherworking experience! After taking out the rivets of the old one, I cut the curved end of the strap flat and made a little notch to allow movement in the screw, and then riveted the old hardware back on. She's not winning any pageants but she'll get the job done. Now I just need to get a flexible extension shaft electronics screwdriver to start work on the bottom side, but I'll get that in the morning, for now I'm slapping this back together and calling it a night
Bass strap repairs
Hey everyone - A little about me
I started as a self-taught player, fumbling my way through for years — until I was lucky enough to get advice and lessons from some world-class pros. That made a huge difference, and helped me reach 2nd place in the Norwegian Championship. Most people don’t get that kind of access — so I want to share what I learned (and what I’m still learning) here, so you can skip the confusion and make progress with clear, practical guidance. 👉 Comment below: what’s the biggest thing holding you back in your playing right now?”

Yes, the separate rhythms on each hand mess me up. I do fine in the more lyrical songs where I play long notes, but adding in the oompahs throw me off

@Joakim Monsen My problem is playing both at once, it song is in 6/8 so I've been doing G GM GM D DM DM for each beat depending on the chord. I will work on going through slowly and getting the feel down at "tempo de learno" and then slowly speeding it up as I get more competent. Playing tuba (and other low brass) gave me a ton of experience with umpah, so I do know the sound
Post a clip of you playing something
I started learning accordion because I wanted to play sea shanties and tavern music.

That's why my friend started playing, but he let me borrow his accordion to learn, I've got my own on the way though!
