Rubin has arrived.

I picked up the bayan at the post office this morning. It came well-wrapped in styrofoam and cardboard. Tape was applied over the buttons to keep the action from shifting. It was in great shape. The accordion is of better quality than I expected. It seems tightly manufactured and feels sturdy. There's a lot a bad words about Russian accordions on the web, but for a beginner like me who wants to get a feel for the instrument, this is definitely of acceptable quality.

Any day when a package comes with Cyrillic is an exciting one. And here's my vocalist, Sparky, giving a sultry look by Rubin, the Bayan.


Today's goal is to manage a major scale up and down on both hands simultaneously.
