I am from Hong Kong. Now looking for a life-long accompany bandoneon. I have many questions about what kind of bandoneon I should buy. I want one suitable for beginner and advance player as well. I would play tango, jazz and modern music. I obtained grade 8 of classical piano. I don’t know if I should buy bisonoric(diatonic) or unisonoric(chromatic), 142 keys or more? And how do I know the key layout?
I have been searching around in Internet. I got these links.
I read these links, and got some information of technical detail and quality check
