Acadiana is Jimmy Breaux's accordion of choice. He currently has one in key of C. He also carries a red accordion in the key of D but it is not an Acadiana.
He has stated if he ever buys another it will be an Acadiana. I have a Crown which both Jimmy and Jr. Martin say sounds good, but it does not seem to have the "brightness" in the sound like an Acadiana. I will go to Leland for my next one. I plan to get a black box with white bellows in the key of D.
We have an old Accordion and the only thing we can find on it is Leland. Would this be a Acadiana accordions? If not does anyone know any history on the Leland Accordions?

I never visit here, came across your site while looking for history on accordions.
