Great photo!

Now that's a great photo - beautiful Miller and Savoy accordions, and a nice, dark fiddle (with the tailpiece with the built-in fine tuners)for good measure!

Is this the first in the series of everybody's boxes?

Gus:

Nice accordions and fiddle. Is that Acadian figured walnut? Gorgeous!

Re: Great photo!

Not only good looking boxes.
It's also a pleasure to play on.
I didn't know that Gus is the owner of a fiddle !!!

Re: Re: Great photo!

That Acadian was mine once.. finest Acadian..and finest Cajun box I'd ever played.. ( I've owned a dozen and tried as many more )...

That's the closest I've gotten to Holy Grail status!!

In better hands with Gus for sure !!

Re: Re: Re: Great photo!

I have a Bon Cajun identical to yours. Only mine has a mic hookup and not in as good a shape.

thanks

Well, I was surprised to see the pic that large on the board. Thanks, Joanie.

And thanks for the feedback, guys.
By the way, the fiddle belongs to my wife. I got her into cajun music at last and we already play two tunes together at a 'moderate slow' speed.

Re: thanks

Outstanding wall tiles to provide an ornate backdrop to the fiddle and accordions!!

peace

Re: Re: thanks

Griff, we searched for them specially to let the newly made fire place look vintage. (it's the fireplace with a stove. Nice cast iron.)

Stove burns wood.... like accordions, fiddles, bagpipes.If I had layed my bagpipe there, surely someone would have suggested to put it IN the stove .
