Re: Re: Cobalt River Accordion

Dwight one of our jammers has one. Wetter than all get out and you are right about the buttons. His broke a spring and now he is using a rubber band for a spring.

Re: Re: Re: Cobalt River Accordion

Yeah, I know. George. Now I remember the rubber band. At least he can say he has his own band now.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Cobalt River Accordion

Thanks yall.

I think I will hold out for something better. If anybody knows of a good used one for sale let me know

Merci!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Cobalt River Accordion

What is your upper limit on bucks? I don't have anything to sell, but there's a local accordion shop that has some Weltmeisters that might suffice, but they're like $600.

However, I say what I always do, hold out for a LA Handmade.

Another route would be to get one of those First Act toy accordions from Walmart or Toys 'R Us. Surprisingly good for not much dough. I even have a booklet on playing come cajun tunes on one of those that I could send you.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Cobalt River Accordion

For something to learn on I would spend $500-$700.

After growing up in Lafayette La, I have a feeling nothing is going to satify me except a Handmade.

If you're going to spend that much, and can swing it, just go the whole way. Talk to Larry Miller or Jude Moreau. Larry's retired, but his grandson took over.
