As for the Acadian .... it looks like an older one and besides that pretty much like a used smokey moke with it's brown smudgy tarred bass valve leathers. Flapper material probably the same story. At that price i'd rather buy a new one, with the benefit of Marc's newer tone chambers and sound. It's name engraved too ... the La Prarie looks the same way, with a cheaper made bellows frame with tape instead of nice woods; same seller & source? Both quite pricey me thinks .... - N

Wow! Good eyes and a good feel for the accordions (I'm the same way with Porsche 944's). I was just letting people know they were there.

Well, a 944, especially with a f*-up turbo, can also be a bad deal ... BTW my grandson is better off at that, drives a Carrera:
