L'ANSE GRISE from Chuck in Indy

Just got the Bryan Lafleur L'ANSE GRISE from Chuck in Indy in,the 9 button.This has always been my favorite accordion of all time"and I have played hundreds" so I think Chuck and Bryan for the opportunity to own such a nice accordion.I'll try to put up some videos soon.It is the best playing accordion I have ever played ,responsive,loud or soft,quick action,I find myself being able to play faster easier.It is a light accordion and fits my hands perfect,great bellows action.Great balance between the bass and right hand.Deep rich bass with a bright old time sound from the right hand.Slight wet tuned which can be made dry sounding with a stop down,To my ear it sounds like the classic old accordions from the past.Its a accordion that makes you want to play it all the time,which I have always done whenever I would see Chuck and am doing now.Photos don't do it justice but I'll try to put some up,or if Bryan has some he could post.It is a gorgeous cocobolo rosewood and maple with turned stops.Overall a masterpiece by Bryan Lafleur
Thanks Chuck and Bryan
