Re: Re: Re: Re: Straps

"Men's accordion straps would be way to wide and would make your good looking box look abnormaly large."

Honey, does this accordion make me look fat?

Re: Straps

Yes, Danny Dyson will make them any way you want.
You do need to tell him what you want, though...:)

The suede side out is the way to go!

I love the strap Danny made for me.
I have not seen Danny contribe to this forum in several years, I assume he is still around.

Re: Re: Straps

I just talked to Danny on the phone Friday night, and he was alive and well at that time. He is sending me a case for the Le Capitaine. He also hand-made me a set of double leather straps for my accordion. Helps a bunch when standing up. Lots of room to adjust for arm-length, belly-size, etc. Can also seperate them and use just a single strap over one shoulder, as well. Give him a shout. His site can be found by browsing Le Capitaine accordions, or e-mail me direct and I will give you his cell. Right now he is working on my Arrieta, beefing it up.

Thanks.

Le Boeuf Arrieta? Use a lot of spice, sha.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Straps

Gots to Kick it up a Notch. Maybe convert it to a "D" or just trow it the trunk.

Keeping it in the car is not a bad idea, for impromptu practice. Just went and got me another First Act toy accordion tonight, probably for the car, if I don't raffle it.

Hey, Dwight, my next door neighbor's little 5 year old girl just had to have an accordion just like Mr. JB's, so they bought her one of those little plastic jobs. Sounded dang near as good as old Ling Ting Tong's genuine not-hand-made grenade.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Straps

The First Act accordion is not bad. The others are either crap or junk. But I still have to go in and pull them out the box to see if they're adequately tuned, etc.

This is as much as I was able to decipher from your post!
