Re: My new Martin D box was waiting for me when I got home today.
I have two boxes which I bought off of ebay last year which I know to this forum would be a joke. One a Morelli in D which I really liked and the other a Hohner Ariette in C. I will say this though that through working out some tunes on these and being able to play them in the public encouraged me because of people liking what I was doing with some old bluegrass tunes on the cajun box. Going to Marc Savoy's jam last month was all it took to push me over the edge and invest in a better box. I've picked banjos that cost over $10,000.00 and found that some $1000.00 banjos played and sounded just as well. But when I went to Marc's and heard the difference in my accordions and those guys that were playing the Acadian boxes, I knew I was about to spend some money. I still want me an Acadian box, but I also spent a bunch of time on the phone with Junior since last year talking it up. I'm glad I did it and will do it again probably before the year is up. Bruce
