## What is Hohner Cajun SqueezeBox?

Exactly matching the layout of Hohner's new Cajun IV diatonic accordion, this intuitive virtual accordion app feature a super responsive, one-row fingerboard that plays and sounds like the traditional instrument. 

This virtual accordion plays in the most common key for Cajun music of C as well as in A, Bb, D, and G for those playing Zydeco or other styles of music.

Both the treble and bass/chord sides of the instrument are provided.

The Hohner Cajun SqueezeBox allows musicians to practice chord combinations, scales, and songs on-the-go. Headphones can be used for private practice, or the audio output of the virtual accordion can be amplified by plugging into computer speakers, or other sound enhancing devices.

With the touch of a button, the tonality can be changed from a "Dry" three-reeds-per-note (LMH) sound to a "Wet" four-reeds-per-note (LMMH) sound.

To play, simply touch the buttons. This type of accordion plays different notes on the push or pull of the bellows. To switch between bellows push and pull, just touch anywhere in bellows or bass side. Touch to switch to push notes, lift to switch to pull notes.

When playing the bass-side buttons, you can touch between the buttons to operate the bellows.

Since you may want to play chords and melody with more than 4 fingers on the screen at a time, you must disable "Multitasking Gestures" in the iPad Settings. Run the Settings app, go to "General / Multitasking Gestures" and turn them off.

Touch the '?' icon to show the note names for each button. Note names shown are based on the C tuning.

Touch the 'i' icon to show the instructions page.

This app is ideal for the beginning student or professional musician who needs a simple carry-on companion to compliment his or her actual accordion. While not meant to be a replacement for a real accordion, the app is a convenient and easy tool for practicing, learning, or teaching.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2016-03-05, version 5.1.1*

Sounds great, looks great and functions beautifully. One of a series of great appcordions.

### 3/5 — D row

*2015-02-22, version 3.1*

Please bring back the combo D/C single row. That is the one I paid for, but I ended up with this one.

### 5/5 — Just the perfect app for practicing for the next Mardi Gras

*2015-02-15, version 3.1*

When I purchased this accordion app over 2 years I was skeptical of its functionality at first, until I tried it with a pair of headphones on   &, to my amazement, it sounded much better than I imagined, thanks partly to the fact that when I play it, it sounds just like a real Cajun squeezebox played by the natives out in southwest Louisiana 
Congratulations & as they say down there, Let The Good Times Roll!!!

### 4/5 — Cajun Squeeze

*2015-02-11, version 3.1*

Needs a third chord,I.e.:  c, F, g.

### 3/5 — Alright

*2013-10-30, version 3.1*

It's alright, but you can't get it wet tuned,it stays on dry. Other than that it is a good squeezebox.

### 5/5 — Accordion

*2013-09-16*

I was amazed at the quality of the sound for this instrument. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when I saw my son playing this app!  This is awesome!!!!

### 5/5 — Gorgeous sound...one request though...

*2013-09-05*

I loved this as the Zydecordeon and still do in it's new guise, however I was just learning to play the earlier version and this new layout has set me back to square one! I love it but is there a chance of having the older layout as an optional 'skin' in future please?

### 1/5 — No sound??

*2013-06-15, version 2.0*

I loaded the app but have no sound. Yes, I adjusted the volume slider.

### 1/5 — Not a Cajun accordion

*2013-03-13, version 2.0*

I expected the distinctive four-stop, dry tuned Cajun sound, but was sadly disappointed. This is just some nondescript, generic accordion sample lurking underneath a graphic of a Cajun 10 button box. Hohner have several apps on the store which are far superior to this, for the same price, and are actually what they claim to be. Don't waste your time and money if you are looking for that distinctive Louisiana sound. To call this a Cajun/zydeco accordion is, to put it bluntly, like calling a cheap Chinese violin a Stradivarius. If however, they sample a genuine Cajun box, this will be a fine piece of software. Until I will regret being conned out of my money.

### 4/5 — Fun app

*2012-04-12, version 2.0*

As a zydeco accordion player I thought this app would be fun to have and it is. I may even use it on stage for a laugh. however it Doesn't sound much like a zydeco one row accordion, so I'm eagerly awaiting the next version which will have all four voices and the left hand buttons, right?
