Roy, give it a whirl on youtube!

Jim,

You asked for it...you got it! A video of that accordion that I took pics of.

The youtube link is attached on the website link icon below.

The Diamond Accordion is being played by the gentleman in the blue
shirt....and the builder, Mr. Horace Thibodeaux is the gentleman singing and playing guitar.

Sounds good to me!

here's the vid embedded, some solid and massive playing !:

Well, that's me buddy Jason Babineaux playing.

Thanks for putting that embedded video up!

I'm a little technically challenged!

Great sounding jam, isn't it?

-RE

Chuck,

Not only does Mr. Thibodeaux play the accordion and fiddle, but also plays guitar. A very versatile musician! I'm actually heading over to his place tomorrow for a little Cajun jam that he hosts at his place with another gentleman.

He truly is a great guy....such a gracious person and fun to talk to.

Looks like I might be placing an order for one of his accordions. Since he only does one or two a year....I better get in my order quick!

-Roy E.

Where can I order one of these, and what is an average price for one?

I can't find any info on this guy at all. Any links to where he sells his accordions from?

Here ya go: Diamond Accordions are built by cajun accordion builder Horace James Thibodeaux.
800 West Sam Houston S., Suite 112, Houston, TX 77842
Phone: 713-780-2212, Email: jthib_@hotmail.com

Mr. Horace has a full-time job, so he only builds one or two boxes a year....and I'm not sure if he's even taking any new orders, but you can certainly email him or call him.

Thanks! I actually found one that Ed Poullard was selling second hand. He made sure it was up to snuff and now he's mailed it out to me! It's a Horace J. Thibodeaux "Diamond" in the key of C.

This is what it looked like, I think before he tweaked it for me:



It should be here tomorrow!
