That is the most beautiful picture I've ever seen.

Hands down, gorgeous! The stacked gaskets on the far right was a great addition to the pic.

Jr. makes some beautiful nice sounding accordions. I practically sleep with my E. Hah! Aint got a woman to get jealous, THANK GOD! I love being a single man with a few good accorions. I had enough money to own that many.

If'n I won the lottery, the only thing I would really do with my money is buy every single key accordion by every builder still building...

I'd also buy those same keys by the next builder, and so on. I'd probably get denied by some because of the work load!

Anyway, I'm going to be poor in a couple years. Like 7000 dollars a year poor. Pray for me.

Beautiful picture.
I'm dreaming for years for such an accordion.

Re: Re: That is the most beautiful picture I've ever seen.

The three accordions on the upper left hand shelf belong to Junior's grandson. The first one with the red crawfish is hands down the best sounding accordion I have ever played. Junior told me it has number two Salpa's in it and never could figure out exactly why it sounds so good. You can't tell in the pictures but Junior's grandson decided to put additional mic clip-on fixtures on the bass side of his accordions so he could play the bass side when gigging without worrying about standing next to a stand alone mic.

The accordion on the top right shelf by its lonesome either belongs to Juniors wife or daughter. I think its in A flat, unless he changed the key. The buttons and components are all layered with gold.

Certainly beautiful work. I love that E accordion of mine, can't get enough of it.
