Diatonic Button Accordion - Available Keys

Available Keys

On a one-row DBA, music in a single major key and its relative minor can be played. For example, an instrument in D can play music in D major and B minor. However, the variety of music that can be played on a one-row instrument is wider than these facts might suggest: besides D major and B minor, our one-row instrument in D can play tunes in A Mixolydian and E Dorian, and tunes that use gapped scales, such as pentatonic tunes with a root of D, G or A.

Famous quotes containing the word keys:

    McCoy: That shark’s been following us ever since the surgeon died, waiting for the burial. Couldn’t I have a musket to shoot it, sir?
    Fletcher Christian: Take the deck, McCoy. I’ll get the keys to the arms chest.
    McCoy: Get two muskets, sir. I’d like to shoot that shark on board.
    Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)

    Bless all useful objects,
    the spoons made of bone,
    the mattress I cook my dreams upon,
    the typewriter that is my church
    with an altar of keys always waiting.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
