Re: I agree - there is not $1000 difference

Yes, I did. It is a very fine accordion. But, I am not sure it works as a Cajun accordion. The form factor is significantly different in several ways. I am sure that over time, one would get used to it and adjust. But I have not had the time for that yet, and in the end, it might not work out. It's just enough different that it throws you off.

Aside from the form factor differences, an additional complication with this particular accordion is that the original owner ordered it with a VERY wet tuning. Much wetter than I can abide by for the long term. Eventually, I will get it retuned and I am sure I will become more fond of it at that point.
