Bruce McCaskey Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The lads were very young. Reminds me of the old Marx brothers photo with the concertina and harp. We have multiple harps in this household and I shudder at the way John is stretching those strings, I hope they were de-tensioned first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayman Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) At least Ringo seems to know how to hold it. I'm more familiar with another photo from this same photo shoot, where they gave the concertina to George and he didn't know which end was up... and John sitting on the wrong side of the harp... this makes me cringe in so many ways!

Myrtle's cook Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If the photo was taken in Liverpool then the instruments may well have been borrowed from Rushworths. Rushworths were one of the city's principle musical instrument dealers until they closed around 2000. In addition to their extensive stock they also held an extensive collection of musical instruments (many now in the collection of National Museums Liverpool). They also supplied the Beatles with many of their instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
