This used bayan was purchased from eBay, sold by accordion-bayan.com. You can go to their website, but I believe their eBay name has changed to “inner-harmony”. “tetkost” is another reliable eBay seller. I recommend these two because their instruments are professionally restored

Step 3 is most important

Glad to finally get to be taught by a master. Unfortunately, I do not have an AK yet. Still working on that as we speak. But Mosin is loaded.

Understanding these things will greatly help you when learning songs. Let me know if anything is unclear, you can also find me on Discord or email if you have questions or need advice, link is in description. Удачи!

I'm currently learning the violin, but watching your videos makes me want to learn this too 😅. Hope one day I could have one.

How funny is it that just yesterday I thought of asking you for a video just like this? Amazing video, really teaches a lot! Thank you and keep it up!

Nice video, I play the Bayan as well and would recommend if anybody is starting out to play major alternating bass using your ring finger for your primary bass, middle finger for major chord, and index for the accompanying bass (the 5th). For alternating minor and 7th bass pattern to use your ring finger again for your primary bass, your index for your chord (be it minor or 7th), then your middle finger for your accompanying bass (the 5th). This way you move your fingers around a lot less and you can access your complimentary bass row a lot easier. Keep up the sweet content! cheers,

I literally just bought a bayan for Christmas from Ukraine, it's still on the way, so when it gets here this will be *very* useful

Thank u for this tutorial. I've just purchased a bayan

Please keep doing videos like this ! I use your channel all the time to practice and this was super helpful! Thank you so much.

I would love to see a Tachanka tutorial.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. It's greatly appreciated especially when I can play it all at once and enjoy this beautiful music! Muchas gracias!

I play an little accordeon from hohner and had lots of inspiration from you. I play now lot of russian songs like katyusha and Smuglianka and tri tankista and lots more. Thanks for inspiration.

Excellent lesson! Easier and clear than many others. I bought a 'Paccben' 3 rows bayan in Brasil and I'm beggining with your good help. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your amazing tutorial! I am already playing violine, but your videos inspired me to buy a bayan and also learn to play bayan now!

Lovely with a bayan tutorial! Keep them coming, komrad

Thank you for the tutorial, definitely gonna play around with the shifting thing a bit. :)

infinitely helpful! thank you! I'm having alot of fun on my Этюд Bayan

I just bought a Bayan on eBay very excited to start playing.

I have never seen his face but i definitely have a crush on him lol love from Turkey 🇹🇷

Best tutorial out there

Спасибо большое!!

Wow, I never thought of actually playing accordion until just now. I will keep this as a future endeavor for sure!

Finaly! Thanks!

danke shon fur deine tutorial

Отлично 👍

I’ve been playing piano for almost 3 decades and bass on accordion still looks impossibly hard to me.

OK... as a multi-instrumentalist who has ordered one of these beasts which is yet to arrive... I'm trying to figure it out! The right side I think is pretty clear - many sites seem to refer to it as a CBA (Chromatic Button Accordion) B-system, or Bayan, as you say. That's partly because I've read up on the chromatic button accordion, but there are so many types of accordions that it is difficult to separate them out! Basically every row bears notes separated by a semitone and every column is a minor third above or below the column next to it. The left side - it looks to me that of the five rows, row 2 (numbered from the left as seen by the observer in the video - I have no idea if this is the right designation for it!) has the individual note C on its dimple key, and I understand that going up and down the columns moves around the circle of fifths. Going down is equivalent to going down by a fifth (or up by a fourth) and going up is equivalent to going the other way. If you press row 2 and row 3 of the same column at the same time, you get a major chord whose tonic is that of the 2nd row. If you press row 2 and row 4 of the same column at the same time, you get a minor chord whose tonic is that of the 2nd row. If you press row 2 and row 5 of the same column at the same time, you get a diminished chord whose tonic is the 2nd row tone. You didn't play the 1st row but I suspect that that renders a tone that is a major third above the tonic, based partly on what I have read and partly on the colours of the keys. The one I am getting from eBay has this same colour, so I think it has to be this type. I'm looking forward to when it comes! Thanks!

Thank you! This has been invaluable in helping me learn the bass side.

yay i can practice with my Чайка-204!

The Bayan different from my Italian accordion It has got buttons on all sides while accordion has got three piano keys on one side and buttons for bass on the other one Even in this side is different because Bayan hasn’t got diminished chords on the bass side For the rest is equal Greetings from Italy!! Edit: Ah I forgot! The bass side of the bayan is stocked by three tunes, right? While the accordion bass are stocked by 5 tunes And when we use the alternate bass technique, we use all three fingers We hit the single bass line (the second one) with the Annular, the third right for major chords with the middle finger, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth with index

Thank you comrade for the lesson! And happy new year from Greece! May i ask what is the cheapest accordion you advise to get? Second hand is not a problem but funds are tight in Greece.

Step 3 is crucial.

Do one with your Hohner because I have a hohner

always wondered why some buttons were black, but just realized they're like the black keys on the piano, sharps and flats

How do you know what bass and chord button to press?

Not even like 10 seconds in and we’re already loading the AK, this is how you know this is Slav

Thank you for this brilliant video! Can you share some tips on the 3-rows diatonic accordion? You played so impressively with the Hohner Panther before!

Both my Bayans do this thing with the bass where if I press one button a few others go down and ruins the bass sound, I don’t know if it’s normal or a way to fix it

I've wanted to learn the accordion for years but I feel like if I learn the accordion I'll drop all the work I've put into guitar

I play piano accordion but would like to explore button accordion too. Do you have any recommendation for resourses? Thanks for this great introduction.

Молодец, хотел бы играть, да вот только баяна нету:(

Will there be any more Serbian songs featured?

i have PPSH, is ok?

I got an old Yugoslav accordion from my grandfather. However, it has one of those piano scales on the right-hand side. I actually prefer it so as I am a pianist. Does anyone know whether the bass works the same (as in the vertical position of buttons only determines scale)? It'd be much appreciated.

Is playing/learning the garmon similair to this?

Great video, thanks! Also I have a question, ¿Are you from India? Have a happy new year!

Love the AK..lol But when playing, how do you know which buttons to press with the left hand? Do they have to be the same distance on the keyboard from the top as the right hand, or is there any other rule? I'm trying to understand how you decide which base button(s) get pressed and when? Thank you for any clarification..:)

where could you get a beginner bayan that maybe isn't the best quality but will be cheap enough to get you started? how much would that be?

The load AK is a particularly silly part of an otherwise lovely presentation

So, the bass side is just like an accordeon and the right hand side is random notes placed on random places having sense because they are not placed randomly but randomly with sense?-

StEp 3

May I ask what is the title of the song?

can you please play bad piggies theme song

my dad wants me to play violin because its cheaper, but i wanna play accordion and i have expierence on piano. what should i do?

Is the bass system the same as stradella?

hello, if I buy an accordion with 3 rows of buttons, can I modify it to make it with 4-5 rows or find the same model but with 4 rows of buttons

Я нужда баян it’s probably not great but I tried some Russian

If you take requests can you do bobi boba

HOW DO I PLAY A GARMON

Play пыль глотаю!

my priest in russia church give bayan to me thank comrade to teach me

Failed at step 3 don't think accordion is for me

Хэпиньюир.

It looks so difficult to learn

Happy New Year everyone! (And first)
