Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: teefaire

Bryan, My Eric Martin p'tit fer was cajun tuned, indeed. I got a certificate. I asked the master himself which one sounded the best with a C accordion. We tried it out. Unfortunately my first cajun accordion turned out to be in D. So I sold it on ebay for 250 dollar to somebody from Texas who lost his one in a bar in Mexico. I didn't realise that the price is so high at the moment. I should have kept it for a while. But that's ebay. Makes every second hand thing more expensive than the new ones.
But I know someone in Italy who might have some in stock
Hope he doesn´t read the current prices.

If you're going to tune it yourself, a strobe tuner will only go so far. Gotta have the ear, or so I'm told!

Re: Re: Tit-Fer

Tee,
you need to fire up that acetyline gas bottle welder torch out in the shed and bend up your own dang tee-fer outa some scrap sucker rod. Keep heatin' it red hot, wack it into shape with a big ballpeen hammer and then cool it in the water trough. Might have to run down to the church (if they got a piano it helps) a few times to wack it and play middle C on the piano. Ask the piana player at church where that is. You'll hit it in tune eventually. If no church close by, don't sweat it. It'll still be loud. Then your boy can have a genuine Cajun hand-made triangle for free.
