Cajun Accordion (KNIRI TUNING) Hohner One Row, Melodeon, Alternate Tuning “Blues Oergeli”

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:26:32 +0000

The accordion (Hohner 1 Row 114 C) shown in the video,
has a special circular tuning “in the circle of 5th”, *Kniri Tuning 221*
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 (“221″ Scale) for diatonic Instruments with 10 Buttons. This means that the notes do always have the same steps(221221221221…..2=wholetone, 1=halftone) This allows to play on the same Instrument 5 different Major and Minor scales and 16 different triads, which are related/similar to the circle of fifths.

A more detailed description of this alternate accordion tunig system can be found at

http://www.kniri.ch/bluesaccordion.aspx

Das “Bluesörgeli” mit “221″ Tuning,hat eine von mir entwickelte Tonanordnung (“221″ Skala), mit der man auf demselben 10-Knopf- Accordion identische Melodien in verschiedenen Tonarten spielen kann, das heisst in 5 Dur- und 5 Molltonarten über mehr als 1 Oktave.
Es sind zudem 16 verschiedene Dreiklänge im Quintenzirkel möglich, immer 3 Töne nebeneinander liegend.
