Welcome to old and new friends who are interested in discussing Cajun and other diatonic accordions, along with some occasional lagniappe....
CAJUN ACCORDION DISCUSSION GROUP
Oh, I forgot!!!!!:
The front of the frames, can either have dadoed grooves or none ( I prefer none),
But, if they have to be there, they "HAVE" to stop before reaching the tip of the decorative metal corners .
Why, because, "NOBODY" likes to see a space under them .
A'm beeing picky ? 
.
Off course not, just common sense, good design,
Off course.
As "WE" all know, esthetics are very important
.
I do not want "JUST A"BOX" strong enough to sit on it, I want to see some design improvments, and that's why I go to the younger builders, and I dont care witch state theyr'e from.

Yeah Claude those hounds are still sniffing the dirt, air and other things I dare not mention, fear of being called crude... yep they are doing what hounds do. Music soothe the savage beasts? yep, it works.
We have a rogue possum that torments em constantly (a night critter)... I don't mind that those dogs howl (after all they are hounds)but at 2:00 AM, I begin to get a few thoughts of what a flat shovel could be used for beyond picking up the poo!
They do simmer down when I play accordion (could be a roots thing, who can say) but Ms. Linda is'nt going for any of my playing accordion in the wee hours, just to hush those goofy dogs... wish I had a paint ball gun for that possum (don't want to kill it, just colorize it, ha).
I'm going to dog hill (done up with a Bb)!
My dream box, says Mr Mayor, would be a big Xmas box full of Pom Pom girls !

Anyone have some pics of a sterling and or monarch box? Could not really find anything on the net. Thanks!
