The great Cajun accordion builder Clarence “Junior” Martin has passed away at the age of 85. Born in Cankton, Louisiana in 1940, Martin was adept at the careful and exacting woodwork needed to build the sturdy one-row diatonic button accordions beloved by both Cajun and Creole musicians in Southwest Louisiana. From his shop in Scott, he built the family business Martin Accordions that built some of the best accordions in the world, sometimes stained bright colors. His accordions were often emblazoned with either a distinctive crawfish design on the bellows or a crawfish under his name as a logo.
