Introduction

Hiyo! My name’s Brendan Vavra, and I started a crazy project to turn an acoustic accordion into a MIDI accordion - something I would not have thought was possible until I stumbled across someone who did just that.

If you’re interested in building your own MIDI Accordion, or if you’re just curious about how it was done, you can head over to the Project Overview page to get started, or you can check out the GitHub Readme for the Reader’s Digest version. I’ll also be posting blogs here every now and then - some will be in-depth retrospectives on various parts of my project, and others will be cool things can do you with the accordion when you’re done. I’ll also post any updates I make to the software/hardware.

Thanks for reading, and happy squeezing!
