The Cajun Squeezebox Shootout

The cajun accordion(made by Marc Savoy) shown in the video , has a special tuning.
I came up with some alternative tunings for diatonic Accordions. The one row Cajun-Accordions do usually have the ‘RICHTER’ tuning.
I was looking for an easier way to play the Blues with the common three chords (C, F and G7 in the key of C). After playing around for some time I found a continuous mathematical scale in the circle of 5th
for Blues, Folk and Jazz.
