Re: Excalibur Cajun style accordions from Castelfidardo?

Used Cajun King accordeons in excellent to mint condition sell for $450-600.

Gabbanelli competes with its dealers and sells them on e bay cheaper than his dealers can...
this is the beginning of the poor resale and repoutation of the product. Then call John Gabbanelli fpor any custom er service.. if he answers and is in his normal frame of mind, , it won't take long to form an opinion.

I did not think the Cajun King used too much air if played normally and the way it was designed to be played.

If you honk on it and attempt to get a sound not intended ie a "Cajun" in you face sound.. it takes an effort. If yoiu need some volume... mic it.

If you buy omne for around $500 I believe you could sell it for $500.

I wouldn't bother. I'd get a Hohner HA 114 made in Germany and hot rod it. Better box. Same price range.
