This easy accordion tutorial shows you how to mark your bass buttons on the accordion. In this tutorial we discuss 3 easy ways you can mark your accordion bass buttons. Marking your accordion bass buttons with dimples or rhinestones will help you feel more confident with your left hand. This quick "how to" guide will show you the right way to accomplish this DIY accordion project yourself at home today.

The accordion we worked on in this video is a 120 bass piano accordion, however the techniques we cover could apply to any accordion or bass button for that matter. We will be marking the C, E and Ab, as well as the repeating E and repeating G#(Ab). Since accordions use the Stradella bass system and circle of fifths layout on the bass side, labeling these repeating bass buttons makes sense leaving a dimple or rhinestone laid out ever 4 buttons. This 5 button marking technique is particularly effective on the 120 bass accordion, more so than the 96 bass and 72 bass models which should be no problem navigating with their respective button markings. Improve your sense of touch and feel on the left hand with this little accordion hack.
