Enjoyed the post. About a year ago, I asked Ed to build a box for me. I pretty much talked to Ed and we had a similar discussion. This will be my first high-end accordion and I'm looking forward to it. About a week ago, Ed emailed me and reported that he was close to finishing. I expect to get the accordion later this month during the week of Balfa camp. In short time there will be two Poullard boxes, about 100 miles apart (I'm in Urbana, IL). Perhaps an "Ed-Heads" meeting, somewhere along I-74 is in order?

Folks

I have Poullard's #4 - first one not for his family,
I believe. It's natural bird's-eye maple in Bb.
I'm in the Chicago area - looks like now there is
a midwestern triangle to try to get together.

Count me in too if you folks want to have a Chicago gathering. I am in Chicago proper on the northside. Am new to Cajun accordion, but I seem to be learning at least a tune a week, and already played diatonic accordion(5 row) for the past few years, so the concept isn't all that new to me. Trying to learn fiddle now too...
