Re: Point Noir Accordions

Friend of mine has one made of the wood from a pew from his father's old church. Very, very nice accordion to play. Friend Trent Van Blaricom has one too that is just as sweet. They sound a lot like Acadian

Re: Point Noir Accordions

A friend of mine has a red one, out here in California. VERY easy to play. Really nice.

Re: Point Noir Accordions

There are a couple/three up here in the Windy City. One Bb (that has since gone back to LA) was a wonderful playing box. I'd love to have a 'DIck RIchard.'

Re: Point Noir Accordions

I played on one at the Jennings Squeezebox Shootout. A guy from England had one. They are mighty fine!

mr dick was a character for sure!

i had one
my first real box
in c

i sold it because it was getting out of tune, had a broken reed, and the blue color had started to fade

i got a bon cajun, new, with $500 left over
and it was good too

mr dick was a character for sure!

marc savoy made me play
i was not very good
he acted like he might not make me his best accordion since i wasn;t the best player
mr dick said " i don;t make them for you. i make them for me!"
meaning he always made them as good as he could
also mr dick was about 40% cheaper :)

Re: mr dick was a character for sure!

Don't think that's how Marc works. I sucked at playing early on, and he made me that ****ed fine D accordion in 2003.

Re: mr dick was a character for sure!

he may have made me a good one

but at the time i didn;t think he was going to
