Re: Re: Monarch accordion, new version

They look the same as those other cajun style accordions made in Italy. Beltuna makes a very similar instrument. All are probably made by the same company. Concerning the Beltuna Caju model reports say that The sound and feel are good, much better than the Gab., but lack the sound and feel of the Louisiana handmades. Buyer beware!

Ron and Joe,
Thanks for the info. I was briefly considering buying one, but have decided not to (after reading the posts here). Here's the link to the one for sale, in case anyone is interested:
