Cajun King

Low cost Cajun style accordion. Pretty good deal. $550 buy it now

Re: Cajun King

I bought one just like it on Ebay in the key of A for about that price. I loosened up the springs to my liking and put an internal mic in it and I gig with it all the time. These are very nice, built like battleships and while a little quiet compared to an La box with handmade italian reeds, once you mic it either externally for cajun or internally for zydeco it has the sound for sure. Someone should jump on this. JMHO

Re: Cajun King

Mine had modest quality Italian reeds.. Cagnoni and not hand made.

I bought mine for $500 with hard case and straps.
I felt fortunate to sell it for $550.

I prefer Hohner HA 114

Re: Cajun King

They also use more air.

Re: Cajun King

Some one bought it. He bid 9 times trying to top the reserve but I guess the reserve was same as the buy it now price.

Re: Cajun King

I own a white cajun king in the D key and it works to my benefit. Its a very great accordion. The only downside was when i went to martin accordions to have it tuned. He told me it was tuned to zero cents.

Re: Cajun King

Brandon sure he wasn't telling you how much it was worth????

Re: Cajun King

Bruce funny how that works

Re: Cajun King

no he wasnt telling me how much it was worth. I bought it from mouton's music shop and he priced it at 1000 dollars. Martin told me it wasnt tuned correctly i think.
