If this fretwork keeps it's secret, maybe you've got one with another riddle in it?
I still don't see those letters.....I do, however, see the wrod "Coors" to the left of the finger rest....
-
If you can see naked ladies or pint pots in the fretwork, you are normal.
What if I see Naked ladies holding pints beckoning me?

(How do you sit down with an .....)
One word, Helen: CAREFULLY!!

Slick installation! Looks very natural to the instrument!

When I hit the battlefield, I like to use my trusty concertina like a flail, hence my devotion to a strap.
I've been known to flail about trying to play concertina, and I'm always strapped....
PS - I'm of German/English descent...I'll get all drunk on Bitter and go Berserk on you!
-
Easy, there Jeff....we young punks don't want to scare the old folks badly enough to get ourselves kicked off the site!

Are green bellows rare or something?
I don't know for certain, but it's the first one I've seen....

his little treble concertina?!!silly picture with the pasted-on face
First you make fun of the size of his concertina, then you call him pasty-faced...you tryin' to pick a fight or something?
Edited to correct my excruciatingly poor typing.

Sorry but I now have a mental image of a vet looking somewhat loke a jelly-fish.
NOT exactly what I meant.... I was thinking that they have to dispose of carcasses anyway....
My Canadian wife and her mother were confused when I was giving directions, and said to "pass the Vet's Cemetary"...The MIL thought "vetrinarians" and the wife thought "Vettes"....should have taught me phrase things properly then, I suppose.

As to bone for buttons, Rosalie Dipper told me she won't use it because of the risk of Mad Cow
Is it neccesary to use a particular animal's bones? It strikes me a deal might be struck with a local vetrinarian if one isn't picky....

Frankly, I think it's cool that the leather is green. And now so are we...with envy. Congrats!
-
Well, it was the man's wife who said it !
Well, then you KNOW it was an exaggeration!
I once painted a motorcycle frame in the basement, resulting in some fumes leaking into the house...my wife accused me of "trying to kill the whole family"! Clearly, a feminine tendancy toward alarmist behavior!
-
Are the bellows leather dark green or is my monitor that bad?
-
The fancy papers really set it off.
I have to disagree...I really don't care for patterned bellows papers. That being said, that's a fine concertina. I'm just more of a "plain bellows" man....
-
Well, Helen, you started this thread. What about you?
-
And he might be, if he ever gets to read this thread
If he piblicly admits to playing concertina, he must be used to good-natured ribbing by now! (If one more person says "Arr, matey. Where be yer parrot?" I'll snap!)

"London Bridge" was the first recognizable tune I played. (Becasue it's in the Jackie tutor manual). My wife applauded at actually recognizing the sounds as music for the first time. Ah, it makes me nostaligic.....Oh, wait that was last week!

I had a wonderful time, and I LOVE percussion dancing! I've never seen someone stepdance ,sing, and play a reel on fiddle at the same time. Amazing!
-
Now you're scaring me!Just what do you hold up with that neck strap?
Well, the larger the object, the greater cumulative force gravity exerts on it....
Seriously, I was just trying to support my Homie, Jeff...he takes a lot of tweaking over his opinions, and when we agree, I like to make it known. When we don't agree, I keep quiet, because Jim and Stephen will already be teasing him anyway! I actually do use a neckstrap, because I am still turning pages in a tutorial as I practice. I've played guitar, bass clarinet, and saxophone, so it seems natural to me. Yo, Jeff...word to yo' mutha!

I'm heading out for the inlaws' house in Dayton in about 6 hours. Anyone want to meet up Saturday night? Literally, dinner AND a floor show! The band lineup lists no drummers, but rather a "Percussive Dancer"...should be interesting!
-
Any relation to U.S. Civil War Brigadier General Joseph Farmer Knipe?
I have absolutely no idea....seems a fair bet that he's related somehow. To my knowledge, no one has ever done any geneological research on my family.

Let the record state that I do own a kilt.
You're scaring me a little here.....
I wear it to Ren. festsNow you're really scaring me.....
Maybe I should get a picture of me in my kiltAppearing soon on www.hotkiltboys.com!!!!
Seriously, I often use a neckstrap, but never a kilt. I'm pretty sure society is safer that way. I just ain't pretty!

Thoughts, Ladies?
Why Jim...I had no idea!!

It seems all oaths in Quebec have to do with the church
Yes, my wife has inadvertantly taught me one in particular, but I couldn't spell it even were it polite to do so!
I hope you are not approximating a Parisian accent.Actually, I sound (to my untrained ear) somewhere between a dockworker and Maurice Chevalier...it's pretty obvious I "ain't from around these here parts" when I'm up there.
Why a pickle?Well, I like pickles for one thing...also, it's just one of those words that stick in my head easily.

I was at the Springfield ,OH flea market this weekend and nearly succumbed to an old 20b Bastari Anglo in rough shape. The seller wanted $75, but was willing to haggle a little. I had a go on it, and discovered holes in the bellow, and 2buttons that made no noise at all (broken valve?)...so I passed. Also, my wife would have killed me....I did pick up a couple concertina figurines, however. I'll post pix as soon as I can!

PS- what do the experts here think would have been a good price? What do you think the repairs would have run me? (I appreciate the info!)
