For well over a hundred years now, accordions have been an essential player in genres ranging from avant-garde jazz to zydeco, in countries from Albania to Zimbabwe. This past weekend, I stumbled across a great video that captures this idea. When it comes to the accordion, I try to keep an open mind. Tex-Mex punk? Finnish folk-metal? Same goes for reading articles or books about the accordion.

I am Kimric Smythe owner and operator of Smythe's Accordion and general all around tinkerer. March February RSS Feed. Smythe's Accordion Center About Contact. About the Accordion. Accordions and Amplifiers and my Mic System. Like many instruments, accordions have trouble keeping up with louder and amplified instruments and over the years people have tried many ways to amplify their sound. Crystal mics were relatively small and inexpensive so a good system could have mics with stereo separation of a sort, with separate tone and volume control for the left and right sides. Simpler crystal mic systems had as few as one mic and no onboard volume control at all. Crystal mics vary in quality and their response is uneven through the audio frequency range.
