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
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.
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.
