I am trying to get in touch with Mr. Jerry Broussard, I am the granddaughter of Mr. Norris Leger and would like to talk about the accordion you speak of on this forum!

So,

there must (have) be(en) a lot of building experience and accordions at the other side of the ocean. Must have been a lot ending in the fire, too?

Thanks Rick, Ganey and others for digging in your memories.

Now the question, why would Eddie Lejeune have brought this kind of accordions to the UK? His favoutite was Pointe noir I heard. And he would never have sold his concert instruments, right?

I suspect that he didn't have anything invested in it, and whatever he sold it for was just lagniappe.

I know a guy in Manchester who has a Pointe Noir which he says he bought off Eddie in those circumstances.

That one on ebay might be good enough to carry in the truck cab for a little practice. If it were cheap enough, but I guess any handmade box is going to make a good price, for the import reasons discussed recently.
