In physics it was definitely the WheatSTONE bridge (the same guy) but I've always gone with LIVINGstun for the explorer. As to the original question I've never had need to pronounce it out loud but in my head it has always been La-shenal.

I found a silly application today and couldn't resist pointing a few of our concertina related You Tube's at it:

I see.
So If a UK person wants to buy Albion, he sends a package with $100 Chinese English to the Button Box, they replace it with Albion and put "repair" on the declaration.
Done deal.
Above scenario is very bad, it's cheating on the Government, that takes care of it's citizens. So please, never adhere to this shameful scheme.
It is always better to add some $400 to the purchase, so the Government can put much needed money into promoting outsourcing.
Hmmm. Given that you'd need a complete paper trail to cover this I'm a bit lost as to how many laws will be being broken in the UK or US. Certainly any company willing to engage in such practices would never get a bean of my cash, as if they're willing to act in such a way they could hardly be considered honest & trustworthy.
So the obvious question is.....
What would be the best make of Concertina to play in prison?

I wonder what the other makers say?
In Jurgen Suttner's "Concertina Maintenance" lecture, given at Eigse Mrs Crotty last year, he said that the single most important thing that you could do with regard to concertina maintenance was to keep the concertina in its case (prevention being better than cure).

Why is Mr Bean nominated, but Monty Python is not. Maybe I overlooked it.
You certainly did - it's in their 'Collection', includes real ale, postboxes, stiff upper lip...
