List,

I heard back from the Cajun Accordion maker, Larry Miller and apparently he 
has taken on new lines of chromatic accordions.  The catalog is impressive.  
If you have questions about accordion tuning, maintenance and repair, Larry 
is the friendliest, most gracious person you'd ever want to ask.

Here is the URL to the new lines of Italian made accordions:

I, personally would like to know how they are tuned.  I assume it is Equal 
Temperament but how much deviation is used for the tremolo effect?  Is it as 
much as 15 cents?  Also, has anyone ever proposed tuning a chromatic 
accordion in any other temperament than Equal Temperament?  Are the higher 
reeds tuned slightly sharp for "octave stretch"?  If so, how much?

I've sent a copy of this post to Larry.  Maybe he will care to answer these 
questions and/or make a few comments.  If so, Larry, please send a copy of 
your reply to:

pianotech@ptg.org

Also, any of you who may be interested in what true Cajun music sounds like 
played on a true Cajun Accordion made by Larry Miller, get one of Lee 
Benoit's CD's available through Larry's website.  Lee is also one of the 
warmest, friendliest people I know.  The Cajun French language is his mother 
tongue.
