FS: One of a kind Junior Martin Bb

Just ordered this box about a month or so ago but gotta sell it to buy myself a plane ticket.....going to Saint Chartier again this year. The box is in Bb dry tuning, white finish, egret bellows, and my favorite....chrome buttons. Plays like a charm, very loud, very responsive, but I use my A, and D boxes more, and this box would pay for my vacation. There's a couple pics of it below. I also will include one of Jr. hardshell cases with it. The accordion goes for $2,500 with a multiple month wait...I am taking reasonable offers on it.

Thats crazy, I saw this box at Junior's shop about 2-2 1/2 months ago. I was talking about the bellow art in a thread here about a week or so ago. If I remeber correctly Junior said that was the first or second box he had sold with that kind of bellow art.

Re: Re: FS: One of a kind Junior Martin Bb

I believe mine is the first, but there could be another one floating around. Neat to know you saw it in his shop. You probably saw it right before I decided on Bb for this one. I think the crawfish corners, although not rare, are a new option he has available. It's very loud, and pretty easy to sing with. My friend has been wanting to play in D more, so I have been training my voice to go up higher, moved up to a C and now finally singing with my D box.

Re: FS: One of a kind Junior Martin Bb

Buttonbox, did you ever sell that curley maple martin in (C)? I sent a check to Jr. the 16th for one in curley maple, in (D) he said about two months. Can't wait...

Re: Re: FS: One of a kind Junior Martin Bb

As far as I know my one in C is sold, I am just awaiting payment for it right now. I am sure you will be happy with your box in D, you can't go wrong with a Martin.
