Larry Miller's Last Accordion ~ Photo

The following close-up photo of Larry Miller's last accordion (displayed at the Dodgeville Cajun Weekend) was sent in by Bruce Woods. Thanks!

Assuming it's for sale. Anyone know how much he is looking to get for it? Would like to get a new C box that is fancier, but this thing even though simple is amazing, bet it sounds great too.

Re: Re: Larry Miller's Last Accordion ~ Photo

Larry said that there was going to be an auction for his 'Last Box' and that the bids should start at $3000.00. I would say that this is gong to be more of a collector item, unless someone has lots of money for a unique accordion. He was going to put real gold leaf on the flappers as soon as he could find out how to do it properly.

$3000 Wow! Maybe that explains that quirky grin on Larry's Face in the photo.

Re: Larry Miller's Last Accordion ~ Photo

The pictures really don't do it justice. I got to look at it a few weeks ago at Larry's shop. It is beautiful. And yes, it will be auctioned.

The horizontal scaling on the photo makes it awkward to look at. Maybe it's just my wide screen. Ha! ~R!CK

Hey guys, someone have Larry give me a call and I will explain the whole thing to him about gold leaf. I have used it for years on handcarved signs,accordions, architectual carvings etc.
