Re: Chubby Carrier statement on Marc Savoy accordions
Years ago I bought a 25 years box from Rounder and in the box was a Cajun and Zydeco cd(2) and at the cover is a three row. There were some stickers on it with the text "JR ... LOVE", but the accordion looks like a Hohner Club. Between JR and LOVE was the brand name ACADIAN.
It doesn't indicate that there was somebody in LA building three row accordions. The only one who can tell us is Marc Savoy himself.
Re: i;d also like to know how many of these he sold
My opinion is Chubby does not know what he is talking about. Marc probably just slapped his name on accordions. He did years ago from another maker, put his name on someone else's accordions.
Re: i;d also like to know how many of these he sold
you are right
chubby is wrong
marc didn;t make them
i;d still like to know what he actually did do though
rebrand stock units,
rework and rebrand stock units,
custom-order instruments to his own specs?
not that marc would tell you
he would at least have a good story
