thanks

Re: 2 key accordions

Whats keys does it play in? Or what notes does it have?
It really sounds interesting.

Re: Re: 2 key accordions

I just spoke to Randy about 4 days ago. I was doing a video for Donna Angelle and the Zydeco Posse in Franklin, La and there was an accordion player there with a band called Mojo. He had a 2 key and a couple of 1 key Falcons. When he played the B flat Falcon, man , I about fell in love with that thing. He let me play on it, pretty cool.

I have a Bon Cajun in "A", but want to get a B flat Falcon BAD. Don't get me wrong, my A box sounds great.

Randy told me they run $2500.00 in 1 key, $4000.00 for 2 keyed.

I am gonna sell my Bon Cajun and save up enough to make up the difference to get the Falcon. It has less than 10 hours on it and is internally miced.

Re: Re: Re: 2 key accordions

I'm interested in your Bon Cajun in A...if you're serious about selling it let's talk.
Take care, Chuck.

Interesting comment, Ben, would you care to elucidate?

Rather ironic quote considering Ben Franklin is the ubiquitous mascot for a hundred bucks!

I think that he means that anyone who would pay that much for backward tech. of ok quality is a fool. Kind of self explanatory!!.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 2 key accordions

I hope that those who think it is a fool's game to pay good money for a Cajun accordion will attend to their own advice, and stay out of the market and not drive up prices for those of us who value traditional, handmade accordions. I'm working on my 6th Cajun box, 3 of Larry's, 2 of Mark's, and one from a new builder who isn't quite ready for additional publicity. If that's foolish,so be it.

Re: 2 key accordions

You might want to hold on to that BON CAJUN since Larry Miller has retired. This fellow is no fool and has parted with his money for a BON CAJUN, 2 ACADIANS, & a POINTE NOIR, all Louisian made.
You can't go wrong with a made in Louisiana accordion.
