I had the same issue. Knowing how to build stringed instruments, I built and sold a banjo and asked Danny D. to build me an accordion with the proceeds. I'd still like to build a squeezebox though. Maybe when I finish this violin in a couple of months!

Just thought I would let you people know that I've gotten quite a few emails about Cajun accordion building. To get such a response is very encouraging. I am determined to be a Cajun accordion maker!
How awesome it would be to be able play my own handmade accordion with the brand name "Jeansonne" on it! It will happen one day. I am certain of it!
