she's a beauty!!!Congrats!

Re: Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

What happened to the frogs? I was just getting used to them.

That is one hellaciously nice looking box.

Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

key of c

replacing the point noir, which i had
made in 1996, thanks to mr
albert for making it all possible.

it really is pretty

it;s about 10 times more purple than the one
larry made for me in 1996

the light was just right when i took the
picture, winter afternoon light

i actually told larry to make the flapper
tips black, but he made them red and
it looks good

some of the other details don;t show
in this shot

specifically the inlay strip

larry doesn;t use wood any more

it;s a pearl plastic, which picks up
just a hint of the stain to make it a light
pink

and the abalone stop inlays

and the floral bellows

i like it!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

Congratulations Larry. What a beauty. What kind of wood is that? The grain and the stain...absolutely wonderful!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

The wood would be curly maple, the stain, well, really blue.

Sorry, I really love Bon Cajuns, but am I the only one who doesn't really care for primary colors on wood?

Give me natural wood tones any day.

:)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

Oh, hey, don't get me wrong, it's a gorgeous box. Anything made by Larry is a work of art, I just like that natural wood. For a performer the flashier look is impressive though.

Like your sound BTW.

Besides, my Bon Cajun may look like a casket, sure doesn't sound like one though. ;)

Hal

Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

The color is Violet/Purple and different strokes for different folks. I think it's a beaut myself.

Re: Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

wood is just your basic curly maple.

stain is called 'violet' from the wood
supply place, i forget the name..

it;s shockingly purple.

Re: Re: Re: Gorgeous Bon Tee Larry!

The picture really doesn't do justice to the accordion. I saw this instrument at Larry Miller's shop in Feb. It is gorgeous, far mor attractive than this picture shows. Enjoy!
