Re: Shhhh. Quiet.

Best .. Haven't played it yet . . but for my money for veteran builders.... Jude Moreau
For mass producers.. Martin and Savoy.. Tina makes very good accordeons.

Between Martin and Savoy : tough, it would depend on who would have the respect for the player and the wood and the project to do miters.

Both are fine traditional "Cajun" boxes...
I'd still go with a Moreau for traditional

or for the newer builders , easy, L'Ainse Gris (sp) from LaFleur.. I haven't played one, but in looking at the design materials and workmanship I'd commit without a reservation for a "new style" advanced thought box...

For non Cajun one rows..
Castagnari of Italy, Rees Wesson of Wales , Martin of France, Gaillard of Brittany,
( who may make another batch after an absence of 15 yeras for his one rows) Bergstrom of Norway..

The notion that Tina builds Acadiana accordions for Marc is a complete myth. Tina's roll in that shop is to deal with customers, answer the phone and basically run the music store while Marc is in the back building accordions. Everytime I go to the shop Marc is in the back building accordions.

What, are you saying my actual observations with my own eyes on numerous occasions were just illusions? I guess you just know everything there is to know about everything...

Btw, I'm interested to know what evidence you have contrary to my own eye-witness accounts. Do you even live down here in South Louisiana? When's the last time you stopped by Savoy's Music Center on a weekday?

Re: Shhhh. Quiet.

Mr. DeVivier, I'm still waiting on a response to the questions I posed in my previous post. Since my previous post I see you have posted in other threads but have not replied to my questions.
