If you email your pictures to me, I'll post them here. Even though I am a Yahoo member, I was unable to access your photos.

NICE! But then, Jude's accordions are ALWAYS nice!

Thanks for posting the pictures, Joan!
Jude really does a great job. I opened it up and it looks as clean inside as outside.
I love the sound, too, although I have nothing to compare it to (besides the First Act ).
Time to practice, practice, practice. I even screw up a simple version of "La valse de 99 ans" as soon as my wife starts singing along, not because of her (beautiful) singing but because my skills are just not solid yet.

sure is a purty box you got there

Man, that is a beautiful accordion.

I hope it sounds as good as it looks...
