Received this amazing accordion brand new from Randy a about a week and a half ago. I really like it, but i've decided to take the plunge and get a 5 stopper from him instead, made to look just like this one. I need to sell this box to pay for the upcoming one. I paid $2,500 plus $75 for the shipping, so I am open to offers hopefully somewhere near that range.

This accordion is actually a bright red, it's just so vibrant it's hard to get a good picture of it. It's in the key of C, tuned 5 cents wet, and can be very loud, it easily over powers the Martin I have(also for sale). The spring tension for me is just right, not to tight, and not spongy feeling, it truly is a good feeling instrument. Like I said, the only reason for sale is that I have another one in the works with 5 stops, which gives me the options of two wet tunings, 5 or 15 cents.

If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.

Why don't you ask him to take it back on a trade-up?

**** Ganey, don't say that, I might want to buy it.

I had asked him about trading up, but he wasn't too hot on the idea. Perhaps the fact it's 5 cents wet makes it an oddball. I personally think because of the way it is tuned it's a superior instrument, it gives it a richer sound.

Tuning doesn't -- or shouldn't -- have any bearing on an accordion's price or returnability. I could say more -- lots more -- but I won't. You paid 2500 dollars? Wow... My D box from Falcon was 1200 bucks in 03.

I paid $2,500 for the accordion, that's Randy's base price, he asks 3k for the 5 stoppers and 4k for the 2 tone ones, regardless of what tuning you decide. I think it's a fair price considering he uses certain design features that only a handfull of makers use, he helps you find the exact tone you want, so you end up with a really nice instrument made to your liking.

That wouldn't be the box that I saw, and played, in Wisconsin recently, would it? If so, it's a great feeling and sounding accordion. One notices it real well, too.

Yep, it's the same accordion, it's hard to miss it given the color. Sounded great when you played it.

A buddy sent me this email, I am in North Carolina visiting a sister right now. I am looking for a good accordian. Send me your contact info and I will call you when I get back Thursday afternoon. I am flying back into Lafayette on Thursday. I live in Lake Arthur and the same buddy and I are learning how to play. I am very interested in this piece.

Thank you very much,
Jacob David
