I wanted to add...according to Sidney Brown's records, he built around 70 accordions. I have held in my hands and played about 20 of them. This particular accordion is one of the better ones that I have seen.

I have a Pointe Noir, and someone told me the other day that less than 500 of those were made.

My brother in law lost a Sidney in Rita. I have seen one at larry millers shop and a neighbor of mine has one that he still plays regularly. I've got three accordions in the curio right now and would love to add a Sidney Brown. In other words, very interested.

Mr. Falcon just informed me that a friend of the family who heard about the accordion through this message board, bought the accordion. I am not sure who it was, but maybe they will reveal themselves. He sends his thanks to everyone who expressed interest.
