Keep in mind this is my first nice handmade accordion, and haven't even seen very many others, so I don't have much to compare to. Only know that the workmanship is beautiful, the sound wonderful. From what I've seen picture-wise, the Acadians are quite beautiful as well.
HAL, how much did Mr. Larry charge you for this Masterpiece. It is definitely a beautie! Funny, I don't see people showing off pictures of their "ACADIAN" boxes. BON CAJUN rules!
