Can someone send me Don Montoucet's address or phone number. When I was in Lafayette for the International Festival, the Brazilian bands bought all he had at the time and I would like to get a triangle from him. Also, if you have not heard his new CD, "Don Montoucet, et ses amis", it is a wonderfull CD to have in your collection.

We all know who's who among Accordion makers, but can anyone offer up a list of names for Te-Fer makers? And what cost should one expect for a good Te-Fer?

Not that I want to be anal, but here's the proper spelling above. The word comes from Petit Fer, with a the word Petit in diminutive as Tit. Fer means Iron. So literal translation is Little Iron.

OK, Maz. Seeing I messed up my spelling in my post (a typo, really!), I need to add something. Yes, it is Tit Fer. Fer is for iron. If your remember your high school chemistry iron (element #26) has the symbol Fe, from the latin ferrum.

Gene, the chemist

Gene,

My petite ferrous had turned into ferrous oxide!

The last female vocalist that I was working with
broke 2 of 'em at the "elbow".

The two triangles quickly turned into a di-angles!

Anyone else break one of these?

Gene, you don't by chance have family in or around Lake Charles, LA ?

No relatives in the South that I know of. It's clear from my accordion
skills, that there isn't any Cajun blood in my veins!! Altho' maybe that
would help.
