Re: it was me

I called Larry Miller and he is taking his last orders for accordions. I asked him to make me a Bb purple accordion. I was thinking of a black bellows with the diamond pattern. I would like to pick out a good color for the flappers. any ideas?

Black inlays would look good against purple.

Re: did you get a new purple accordion?

It is going to be a sad day when Larry Miller hangs it up. Last time I was there, he was trying to convince his grandson to carry on the business.

Larry Miller is going to retire soon....bummer

Larry is one of a kind. He's been a good friend to me and has sold me many accordions. Is his grandson (Blake?) interested in his business? I'm going to sell my Miller Bb to get a new Bb from Larry. The one I'm selling is oak.

how much?

Re: Re: Larry Miller is going to retire soon....bummer

probably $800. I do have an internal mike that would be a bit extra. It's a nice quarter sawn oak accordion made from wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. It's probably 3 years old, max. The bellows is nicely broke in. It won't be available until later this summer.
