Any recommendations on Cajun accordion builders besides Marc Savoy and Jr. Martin. Someone whose accordions you have played and like.

Thanks for any help.

I've had one built by John Elton Doucet from Church Point. The brand was "Cajun". Bought it in 2016 and it was a great and he was a friendly guy to deal with. Not sure if he's still building accordions anymore.

Thanks for his name.

Ed Poullard has been building great accordions for a while now - superb instruments. Jesse Lege has also recently started building, though I haven’t had the opportunity to try one. Finally, Craig Vincent is a younger builder who has been cranking out some great boxes.

Thanks for those names. Do you have contact information for Ed Poullard and Craig Vincent and Jesse Lege? When I met Jesseat a festival 5 years ago he told me he was starting to build.

Thanks.

I don’t think any of them have a dedicated website, but all 3 are active on Facebook, so that’s probably the best way to reach them.

I'm curious how much Junior Martin accordions cost now? The Acadians are $4K a pop.
