Just when you think you've seen it all

Apparently someone has too much time on their hands if they're building jewelry boxes out of Cajun accordions.

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

or too many accordions on their hands. If that originally was a playable accordion, sad to see it put to that use.

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

If that's a real cajun accordian as stated (size?) how much would it cost to have reeds and a set of bellows installed?
I see the bass and chord buttons and a good left strap. Thumb strap, Treble board looks good........
If I sunk $500 into it to get it working, it would still be a great deal, non?
I haven't heard of the Breaux Bridge brand?
Thoughts? Help the new guy out. :)

Don't waste your time.
For a grand you could buy something ready to go.

That would need a lot of work to convert back.

That may be a builder who posts here as kenmkboy, Ken Guillory. Looks nifty to me.

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

I've been informed that is not Ken Guillory's.

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

It looks like it wasn't a dummy who made the box or rebuild a former real cajun accordion.
I'm curious if he or she can build one with reeds in it!

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

Looks like a place to store your weed . . .

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

Jamey, you never disappoint...

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

Thanks! I always try to see both sides of the issue. Especially the far side . . .

Re: Just when you think you've seen it all

funny jamey I was thinking the same thing

Re: Storing weed

That's a fact!
A friend of mine had her house broken into.

They opened up her accordion case, left the accordion and store the case!
