Jim Lucas' Duet Concertina


Recommended Posts

I was amused by Jim Lucas' photo of the "duet" concertina arrangement on the website.

 

It occurred to me that the anglo would be difficult to play with the feet, but this arrangement might actually be workable if the concertinas were reversed.

 

If the big toes went in the thumb straps of the English, then the other toes would be in pretty good playing position. Actually getting them coordinated enough to play is a whole 'nother matter. And I don't even want to think about the ergonomics... ;)

This almost looks like something Ken Sweeny's likely to pull off at the Squeeze-In talent show.

... Which reminds me of my first (I think) Squeeze-In, where late at night in the lounge Jody Kruskal played dance tunes on his Anglo and simultaneously made a wooden "limberjack" doll dance. The doll hung from a cord that was tied between Jody's thigh and some nearby piece of furniture, I think. Some of us just about fell over laughing ... clearly it was one of those "you had to be there" moments ....
