Here we are, 4 months into learning the Chromatic Button Accordion; Chris Wood’s gorgeous slow air/thing, Mrs Saggs. Still learning how to play the CBA so please forgive the diabolical technique; it’s a work in progress! See also the melodeon version I’ve also just uploaded for comparison.

Theme from Dvorak’s New World Symphony on CBA

Theme from Dvorak’s New World Symphony on CBA

A new instrument! I’ve been playing this for 4 days, and it’s literally a new world, hence the tune. So yes, there’s a few stylistic things to sort out, and yes there’s large chunks of the tune missing, but this should give an idea of what this wonderful box sounds like. Now I need to learn to play it properly! This is also known in the UK as the Hovis tune of course, after the TV advert which featured it prominently.
