48 BASS
A 48 bass, for example, would have 8 rows each containing this pattern of chords and notes: Eb, Bb F, C, G, D, A and E. This is a perfect size to learn on, having 2 octaves on the keyboard side, and 8 rows in the bass, which gives you a decent range to begin with and is not too overfacing when starting out.
REDUCING STRAIN
There are some precautions players can take to increase comfort and reduce strain. It is important to sit correctly and have the straps adjusted to suit you, and its worth having a lesson or two to make sure you are getting this right. A backstrap, which pulls the shoulder straps together at the back, can take some of the strain off your neck and back.

PLAYING
Dont play the instrument while it is colder than the surrounding air. This will condense moisture on the reeds, which will lead to rusting. Give the instrument time to acclimatize before playing. Never smoke when you play the accordion. The cellulose nitrate outside coating is extremely flammable. Dont play close to fires, or lighted candles. If you rest an accordion on your knee to play, make sure you rest the wooden end, not the bellows. If you allow a beginner/child to hold your instrument, remember to ask them to always press a key before moving the bellows. Dont play an accordion with worn and fragile shoulder straps. If a strap breaks while youre playing or carrying an old accordion, it could be disastrous.
