michael sam wild Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I am working on Rolling in the Ryegrass in D on C/G anglo.and there is a 3 note triplet all on E possible On melodeon (button accordion) it is common to use several fingers on the same button to get a same note triplet Does anyone here do that or is it easier to do a shake or a slap (tap the plate) triplet?Or do you do a staccato repeat on the button. I use quite a few cuts (grace notes , eg ded or gbg with the bellows in teh same direction but one note triplets are sometimes found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 One way of doing it is by keeping the note depressed and using the bellows to create a triplet. Like a bellows shake but on the push.(takes gentle pressure on the bellows ) It takes a bit of practice , I think Mary McNamara uses this principle,not certain, but sounds like it.

Kurt Braun Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have to admit that I have never really developed the technique of multiple fingers on the same key for speed. However, I do remember learning the technique when briefly a student of the piano. On the piano I had the benefit of a teacher. I've always thought that someday I'd run across a passage where I'd need it and then take the time to get the technique under my fingers. If it ever happens, I bet that I'll not regret taking the time to practice it. If you learn it, I'd like to know of your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have seen folks on youtube use different fingers to make the triplet. And I do it myself now and again. It's a nice effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Reeves Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Depending on which E you refer to. A low E on the C row, I would lightly touch the first button rt hand c with second finger rt hand in a glancing blow followed by same sliding motion with first finger rt hand, effectively giving the following sequence. E-c-c-E. More times than not, I would also use all push on rt hand, of e, c, the to E on left. Sequence is E-e-c-E. Now taste becomes an important part of doing either. Again if a low E on the C row, I am as likely to create a double stop by pressing the E and either an octave down on the third row, or a low B on the G row. If you mean the higher octave e, here is my choice. I find more power on the pull e of the g row. I either grace with the f# ( first finger rt hand), or if time permits I also use a pull high g from the third row ( using second finger rt hand) followed by f#, the the e. The sequence is e-g-f#-e. On a jig the rhythm allows the long roll nicely. Just my take on ornaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
