Is it an unwritten rule with cajun accordion builders that they only tune their own accordions?
Also, I have an Acadian and a Martin accordion and both need tuning. I live in VA and was wondering if any of you know of a person in my area (200 mile radius) that I could trust to tune my accordions, instead of having to send them to SW LA. Thanks, MB
I just built my first one and I opted to take it to a technician for the tuning. I am having him show me his technique. He is not strictly a cajun accordion tech but it is turning out wonderfully. I would imagine anyone possessing the skills to tune reeds could tune your accordion for you. Just remember to explain how the cajun box is tuned. I don't know anyone in the VA area but I would suggest doing a craigslist search or maybe even make a post and I am sure something will turn up.
