Re: Still making Accordions

Looks great Elton; I love curly maple. I would have gotten an accordion with that wood, but I smoke and light colors turn yellow. My white accordion looks like my walls

Hey Elton, where did you ship to? I thought I was one of the only people into playin cajun music in N. La

Beautiful accordion!

Re: Still making Accordions

Accordion looks really nice. The valve flappers seem to have large spacing in between each one. Is this related to button spacing? I mentioned button spacing and flappers spacing in another thread. Some replies indicated there are two button spacings, Sterling and Hohner?

Re: Still making Accordions

I use 3/4 sterling pattern on all the accordion I make

Re: Still making Accordions

Don, the space between flappers is dependent on 2 things, the button spacing, and the width of the flappers.

Re: Still making Accordions

Hey Elton,

Are you the one that got a hold of that white Globe on ebay recently?
