Re: Chubby Carrier statement on Marc Savoy accordions

Years ago I bought a 25 years box from Rounder and in the box was a Cajun and Zydeco cd(2) and at the cover is a three row. There were some stickers on it with the text "JR ... LOVE", but the accordion looks like a Hohner Club. Between JR and LOVE was the brand name ACADIAN.
It doesn't indicate that there was somebody in LA building three row accordions. The only one who can tell us is Marc Savoy himself.

CALL THE MAN UP

i;d also like to know how many of these he sold

there are 'acadian' 3 rows that he sold

whether he had them custom made, just slapped his brand on them, or bought something stock and then reworked it to his own standards, is unknown

call him
i;d also like to know how many of these he sold
guessing 100 or less

Re: i;d also like to know how many of these he sold

My opinion is Chubby does not know what he is talking about. Marc probably just slapped his name on accordions. He did years ago from another maker, put his name on someone else's accordions.

Re: i;d also like to know how many of these he sold

you are right
chubby is wrong
marc didn;t make them
i;d still like to know what he actually did do though

rebrand stock units,
rework and rebrand stock units,
custom-order instruments to his own specs?

not that marc would tell you
he would at least have a good story

i;ve seen at least one of these
it was kind of aqua color
mother of toilet seat of course,,

wish i could remember where
ward lormand, from file, ?
jimmy breaux,?
murphy richard from creole zydeco farmers,?
[[not roy carrier, he played gabbanelli in later years]],
steve riley maybe?
maybe it was rockin dopsie sr, maybe he had a red one that he played upside down?
boozoo?

anyone know someone that actually had one of these?
