2. Treble Keys
The right-hand side features 26 piano-style treble keys. These are used to play melodies and chords. Pressing a key while moving the bellows will produce a sound.
3. Bass Buttons
The left-hand side has 48 bass buttons arranged in rows. These buttons are typically used for playing bass notes and pre-set chords (major, minor, seventh). Familiarize yourself with the standard Stradella bass system layout.

4. Bellows Operation
The bellows are crucial for producing sound. Gently push and pull the bellows to create airflow through the reeds. The volume and dynamics of the sound are controlled by the speed and force of the bellows movement. Ensure smooth and controlled bellows action for consistent tone.
5. Treble Registers
The Secondo V features 3 treble registers, which are switches located above the treble keys. These registers change the combination of reeds that sound, altering the instrument's timbre. Experiment with different register settings to find various tonal qualities.
