Re: Used Cajun accordion

So those are those short bellows, they normally have 20 folds, right.

Re: Used Cajun accordion

hi,
How many folds have a cajun accordion?

Re: Used Cajun accordion

The Italian bellows have 20 or 21. You lose 2 gluing to the frame. So if you reuse a bellows you will automatically lose 2 or more.

Re: Used Cajun accordion

Bonjour,

Contacte Eric Martin, il vit en Bretagne près de Rennes. IL fabrique d'excellents mélodéons. Il en joue lui même avec sa famille, les "Cajun Ramblers". J'en ai acheté en Do pour 1 600 euros il y a 6 ans. Il en a même fabriqué un à 13 boutons pour Steve Riley. Peut-être en a-t-il d'occasion ou connait-il quelqu'un qui en revend. Je te conseille aussi sa méthode pour apprendre. Voici le lien : http://www.accordeonsericmartin.com/
Bonne chance.

Marc.
