Accordion Solo/Standard Bass

$10 US except where otherwise indicated.

N.B., you may notice that many of my pieces for standard (stradella) bass accordion do not indicate any register switches for the left hand. This is because there is no longer any “standard” in standard bass–the standard low note used to be C, but now it’s just as likely to be A, G, or even E (as on my convertor), so I leave it to the discretion of the player to find an appropriate switch for their particular accordion.
