Re: Claude Luneau

Perhaps I'll post another of him playing on a one row and another with C#/D..

BTW he's about 6 ft 4 in. and has huge hands... the box I smaller than the typical Cajun made box.


The Jewell on the Button Box site is most definitely the Pointe Noir if you are looking for a classic Cajun made box. It would not matter that Dick Richard used, or did not use, butt joints.. there's magic in his accordeons.

Years ago I ordered a box from him and shortly thereafter his wife dies so we put it off for a while.

I reordered and.. he died.

Moral, don't let me order a box from you : ).

Re: Claude Luneau

Mine was about 15 cents in the middle of the board.

It is at the Button Box getting tamed to about 5 cents. Just enough to hear that it is an accordion and not a concertina.

There is nothing better for the price than a Castagnari melodeon.

The button box has one new and one used in the key of D.

I sold Claude my Castagnari in C.. he sold it backl to me. Regretted it and ordered a new one in C direct from Castgnari.
