its all in the personal push TJ. Apparently the man knows himself well enough to know that his instrument could always be improved. Whats even more impressive is that he is able to continuously evaluate all the things that could make the accordion better, and actually find solutions that work, to make them better. He truly has a drive to build the best accordion possible, and he hasn't reached his goal yet. I think we have better accordions yet to come from ol' Marc.

A word about preferences, The most talented accordion player can make a crap accordion sound pretty **** good. look at Amédée Ardoin, or Iry LeJeune. The accordions they played were probably pieces of ******* junk but they rocked those things like nobody's business. I think Marc's accordions have the most traditional sound to my ears (based on what I've heard from early recordings), and players that approach their style from a traditional standpoint sound really good on his accordions. If you want to stray away from that sound that is completely ok, I dig it myself, but it doesnt always sound good on marcs accordions, just like tryng to play cajun rhythm guitar on a Taylor guitar. It sounds like **** because they are better suited for finger picking, leads, and light strumming
