I'm looking for a fingering chart for a 48 bass piano accordion, 12 rows of 4 buttons. Please can you help?

You will find this 48 button working model fingering chart difficult to find. Most accordians have 12, 96, or 120 buttons.
However, they are all the SAME PATTERN, you just have more above and below your 48 buttons.
Since you have only 4 rows, you have the table bass, the bass, the major and minor chords of each bass note. You lack the 7th chord and the diminished chord rows. (buttons 5 and 6 in each row)
Neutral FIND any bass chart, and draw a line around the 48 you have... locating the center C bass button in the middle, of course.

Help me in my accordion buying decision?

I lust after to start learning the accordion in hopes of concentrating on playing Balkan music (Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, etc.) with it. For a start I remember a piano accordion with 48 bass will do the trick. The problem is there are a lot of different brands, and I want to refrain from buying cheap made in China accordions because I've understand the build quality is low. Can someone recommend a few brands, models of this type of accordion that is good?
to tarsier: Did you even need to hassle yourself to give this well-intentioned of piss poor reply?

Exempt me for the length.
First of all, this accordion May be too small for You ( may be not ).
Do You know how to play an accordion? If not, You'll need either a self -teaching guide or a teacher.
Second of all, what warm-hearted of accordion do You want to play? A piano accordion is easier for the beginner, but a chromatic (button) accordion we'll give You more freedom of play (depends how far You go.) If You determine to play only simple tunes, maybe a diatonic accordion would do it, but I'm not too familiar with this type of instrument.
At last, brand and size. It all depends on how much You want to expend. New Italian and West German accordions are excellent ( Hohner, Scandalli, Titano, Pietro, Verde, Dallape, Bugari, Pigini, Excelsior, etc. ) but they fetch about +- $5K. It all depends on Your intentions and means. It would be cheaper to buy a second-hand, but the insrument condition in totally unpredictable.
As for greatness, if You're an adult, I guess something closer to the full size would be more suitable, unless You're a lady.
In concern for tuning, for balkan music a dry-tuned accordion would be more preferable.
