I do a lot of accordian stuff.....trio, duo and solo. Classical mostly. These people are amazing players show the instrument in a totally different light.

I tend to use two C12VR spaced omni about 8 feet from the instrument. On most pro accordians the bass comes from one side, and the melody the other. I like the omni because it keeps the image from becoming too bass to one side, melody from the other, but still gives a big room sound.

Whe the trio plays.....two full accordians and a bass accordian, with an amp....I put one C12 on each full, a Groove tube MD1 on the bass, and a Blumlein pair of Coles 4038 10 or 12 feet out.
