Talk:Joseph Vacher's Accordion/@comment-5782071-20161105225159

I have been doing some major digging and although I have yet to ID the specific accordion (I just emailed the prop house that supplied the show with some props), it's body is comprised of red pearloid, a synthetic replica of mother of pearl that was also commonly used in guitar bodies and poilet seats, earning it the name "mother of toiler seat". I can't find out when it was invented, but I'm sure it was during the 20th century. With the circular grilles/grille mutes, I'm betting it's one of these accordions. I want to lean towards Parrot since it has somewhat similar but not exact grilles (can't find a pic of what they look like beneath those cap things), and although the brand signature is in a different spot, and illegible, those silver stripe things on top seem similar form what I can tell. However, the Paolo Soparani one might be likely as well. At first, however, I also assumed Hohner/Hohnica.

The point being, this accordion cannot belong to Vacher.
