Big list of Anglo layouts

[Leah Velleman]

I recently encountered this too, and ended up going with the ICC layout rather than the standard Jeffries. I play in octaves a lot, and I like that it preserves the "C# octaves are two buttons apart on the push" relationship like a Wheatstone would, though I doubt that's the ICC's main consideration.

 

(Actually, my dream accidental row would be one where octaves are consistently two buttons apart on the push, like on a Wheatstone, and three buttons apart on the pull, like on a traditional Jeffries, because then it would fully match the pattern on the other two rows. But I suspect that the market for that would be exactly one person, namely me...)

Hello Luke and all,

 

My christmas present has been an old "Bandonion" with 52 buttons (104 voices).

I wanted to have a try at the bandoneon because the layout has always been a puzzle to me and I wanted to see if I could understand it... after several hours it remains a puzzle !

I'm not sure if I'll keep it or resell it, but meanwhile I transcribed the layout. Here it is !

Wolverton has a page with a bunch of layouts, fwiw.  Don't know if there's anything unique there.

 

I was wondering about this topic and searched for info, and only stumbled on this thread by accident.  Maybe it should be at the front of the site, like how melodeon.net's intro page has the layout pages right on the left sidebar.
