Thanks for all the responses everyone!

I am Cambridge based in the UK.

I will check out the European builders also that were mentioned; thanks for the links.

This is a very helpful group.

I'm in Darwen (near Blackburn) if you ever make it up this way you are welcome to try out my boxes.

I've a Martin (Jnr not Eric), Acadian, Bon Cajun, and an Anthony Falcon.

I know one or two European players have replaced Castagnaris and Eric Martins with Louisiana boxes so I assume there must be a difference but I guess you'll only know by comparing them.

I'll be selling a Falcon C and a Martin Bb soon and am in Italy if you are interested.

Hi Phil

Your name sounds familiar. Do you play in a band over here?

BJ

I think my name might be familiar because I think you've asked me the question before on the forum.

I used to play with an American Old Time square dance band and played the odd Cajun tune on accordion, but I mainly played 5 string. I have never played with a full blown Cajun band.

You may be right, Phil. Amneeja is setting in.

You may be right. Did I say that already? Who am I?

BJ
