Re: Shopping around for a good, but not fancy C or D Cajun box
For the amount of money you have to spend, if you can't find a decent used box, then maybe you can try a new Gabbanelli Cajun King with TAM reeds or a Weltmeister. The Gabbanelli is usually in stock and ships within a day. I had a Gab and liked it very much. Both are decent for about $1000 USD.

Re: Shopping around for a good, but not fancy C or D Cajun box
Hi Nick, of course I'd like to see the instrument. Thanks!
By the way, are all Made in Louisiana accordions blighted by the same generic cookie-cutter art-nouveau style endplates? It was a nice design 20 or 30 years ago, but gee, it would be nice to see some options!
Re: Shopping around for a good, but not fancy C or D Cajun box
Being a newcomer to the cajun accordion I'm really happy with my accordion made and played by Bryan!
It's extra special to me because Bryan's also my cousin! I can personally vouch for the quality too! After speaking to many players I was convinced not to settle for less than Cajun made quality!

No, there are different endplate designs. Just depends on the builder.
