The reason i'm so ignorant & retarded & asking all these stupid questions is because cajun & zydeco, or kajico as i automatically label them when they come together, is all brand new to me.
I've found when I am performing with various instruments that people are captivated by the sight of instrument as much as by the sound of it. This makes me certain that the bellows of the accordions I buy must have as many deep folds as possible so that on stage they create a more captivating visual effect.
Obviously a player could make the same music with a small number of folds but I was just considering the visual effects of the bellows movements on stage & how that movement is absolutely captivating to some people & therefore should be enhanced as much as possible.
You are 100% correct about the entertainment aspect of .. well .. entertaining.
It's your perogative, of course, but remember this;
"Schtick" will alienate you from people that know what they're really doing,
such as Marc Savoy (and if you're serious about playing a Cajun accordion,
you really should know who Marc Savoy is.)
If you walked into his his store with such a monstrosity, you would likely
be ushered out quite rapidly.
Just a friendly note of caution from your friends here ;-)
And, as some have experienced, you can be ignored for no apparent reason.. or snubbed, or he can be out and out rude... no matter the size of your "bellows".
