Hey John:

I thnk you may have played my Falcon...at the jam during festival with Jonno? I think you also played my fiddle for
a while. Was that you? Mark

Hey Mark,

I thought I recognized your name from the board, but I wasn't totally sure. That was your accordion and fiddle that I played in the jam tent. Both of them were great instruments but I'm definitely not going to forget the way your Falcon played any time soon. How was the rest of the camp?

That's right! I forgot. Sorry, Don.

Hope you're enjoying your boxes. I'm sure Mark loves his.

I have to agree with Travis. I own a Martin Bb, and I manage a guy called Johnny Chauvin & the Mojo Band, he plays Falcons exclusively (2-2 key, 1-Bb).

When a reed gave a problem, I had to bring Johnny's box to Randy to fix it because we were playing that night in Franklin, so I got to sit and have a nice visit with him. I asked him about the well known subjects that comes up on here like the rounded corners on the fingerboard etc etc.

I used to think they sounded alike, but a Falcon has a sound that resonates. It's hard to describe, you just have to hear it. My next box will be a Falcon.

By the way, Travis, I design websites and do video work for a living, check out the 2 links at the top, one's my site and the other is the site I did for Johnny Chauvin . . so if ya need . . . .

Hey Nick:

I do love my Falcon...actually Falcons now. I have
a C, D, and a Bflat. Nick...missed you at camp this
year...and yes you could go back and get more food
this year. Mark

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Falcon Box on Ebay.

Mark,

Falcon(s)! That's amazing. I'm dying to playing one again.

I'm definitely satisfied with my two Savoys, though I don't play the A as much as I had hoped. My next purchase will be a Falcon D.

I had set aside some cash for a new accordion but my beautiful Martin guitar was smashed to bits while exiting a doorway. I purchase a Gibson J-45 acoustic as replacement/morale-booster.

See you next year for sure.

Nic B.

Where's the Martin now?
