First day trying to play with a CBA

I've played piano accordions for a few years - wanted to switch over to learning the CBA for eventual ease of playing chords without having to stretch my fingers across the keyboard.

Still getting used to it - I've better bellows control standing rather than when sitting. The straps also need to be replaced (they're not wide, and the accordion weighs a decent chunk). The accordion itself is the C-system 1950's Hohner Morino Artiste III D with German "Artiste" LMMM treble reeds and a Umleitstimmstock (180 degree channel for the lowest bass notes). But overall, very fun! Hope you enjoy the improv piece.

Always appreciate advice & tips! Thanks.

Making the switch over to CBA from PA with a Morino

I took the plunge - this old beauty is on its way to me. D series Morino (earliest versions made with Hohner "Artiste" grade german reeds). I figured for $700 I could do a lot worse. Does anyone know if the keyboard layout is a C-Griff system or B-Griff? It's very hard for me to tell based upon what buttons are textured. Of course, any additional information about these CBAs is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What do you all think? Maybe will try a Forstener beads of rice bracelet next.
