Try boat number 86 .... while I try to earn a crust...

Sorry - stuck it in again, tho U Godmaker should have been able to communicate telepathically with another concertina Godmaker!

Various - go to youtube and search for videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/InsightandMind#p/u/4/AGtOx3ZFW-U http://www.youtube.com/user/InsightandMind#p/u/1/fau6Yacc20A or search for insightandmind (all one word) one or two still uploading.(for about the 10th time.........)

If you want a classic example of how a funeral march can be given a modern treatment (I do not know what category you would put it in), take a look at Henry Purcell's funeral march for the death of Queen Mary, 1695 AD. In a modern guise, it became the title theme to the film 'A Clockwork Orange', a very different arrangement from the original. I thought the film was mostly weird and boring, but I loved its music. It introduced me to Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which I still regard as one of the best pieces of music ever written. - John Wild Vinteresting: and of course the dodgy fiddle-case carrying players have got their hands on it too:

Would this kind of fusi-eon music fit the bill? it is part of melodeon.net's tune of the month exercise and shows how you can jazz up a funeral/lament - must have been an Irish wake on Cognac de Limousin

Autolathe scan (someone else's good end)and auto-mill? Same again for the piercings for accuracy. There must be companies out there doing this. Veneer after as required as per Theo's counsels. http://www.millit5.com/Process.html there are lots of youtubes on hand milling out 'bowls' for the moulding but looks like a fair amount of skill to get it accuratte whereas a scan should be deadly accurate. The same principle of scan and cut should work for any fretwork surely. ps I have been talking to some Chinese engineering Cos who can scan and cut metal parts (they supply many of the big mobike names with sprockets, brake cylinders, panels, housings etc) but followup has been slow. pps and remember to put pencil marks on box and pan top sides before you pull the pan out with your thumb hrough the hole ...so u know how it goes back. Took me days to find out how to make that move originally!

What should happen is that you get four publications a year: three copies of Concertina World (with music supplement) and one copy of Papers of the International Concertina Association, with roughly three-month gaps. This time we were a bit late and PICA caught up with CW, so you got three documents in one envelope. Normal service should now be resumed. Even better value!!!! Join up join up! [That's a bottle of Kriek shandy from you too Roger - don't dilute the red stuff!]

I think that's probably why Kautilya asked that question - as it's been removed, the rest of us have no idea who "this guy" is/was ??? It doesn't really matter. He hi-jacks other people's identities and uses a different one each time. Maybe Irene and I could learn to get the hang of his drift if we see his various nomsdeplumee and his musicodificus operandi, or is that thread-drift? We're back to the old issue of grabbing a pic of the webpage/item so there is a record, independent of the ebay number.... I regularly just copy a page, cut and then paste (don't use paste special) into a Word file and save so I remember how much I paid last time for my Farley's Rusks and it works ok. see attached:

Whoops! Absolutely on your old threads labelling idea. This (I thought...) came up when I hit the "new content" button and hence my reply to the (I hope still alive in the US)respondent but I did not take in how old it was :o Leyland came to mind as I missed what appears to be a regular (and free) concert by a few hours last week....found out too late

What a lousy video, is all I can say! If they can train fleas to do circus tricks, maybe a louse could be taught to play the duet concertina. It would have to be a miniature one, of course. And the result would be quite probably 'hair-raising'. Chris You've got me scratching my head on how to respond to that one and I can't find the post by Geoff Crabb how he "cracked" a fleatina just before your birthday (Xmas) but here's one he made before on, where else but, Fleabay!! http://www.concertina.net/crabb_miniature.html I didn't know crabs could play concertinas. That's a new one on me. There ought to be a penalty claws somewhere. I am shell-shocked! Chris Thank goodness you did not try to hit me below the belt with that one or we could get into trouble with Paul the Black for playing innnuendo senza moderato... let's keep this up at the cerebrellows level. That said, I will see whether the athlete's foot anti-fungal spray, which I bought to use on my box, also kills beasties of the octave-leg kind. You are praps wrong on their abilities, coz they must be brilliant at running up and down the scales particularly on side-ways powered instruments - natural, flowing Maritina players (from Mars presumably). You have inspired me to try to make my for-toon in the music halls by crossing a fiddler crab (which is also know for its dance calling abilities it seems) with a toothed shore crab whose Latin name Paragrapsus quadridentatus clearly shows in translation its potential for tina playing (Four-finger, toothbone-button grasper) http://museumvictoria.com.au/crust/mov1660i.html I have been promised help from some Free-the-Reed organ-ICA liberation players living on the Crab Nebula.. [use your 3flat-2D#-2octave Inglitina to call up this message I just got from them and see whether u think they are suitable partners - they clearly aren't true ICA steakholders but I don't discriminate - I eat crabmeat AND veg.....: The opposition has an orchestra which could do with a bit more life breathing into it with undercover tina players == as you can hear from the conductor whose newfangled plastic reedpan is leaking all over the place. (Any resemblance to Chris Gibb is deliberate, and yes, there are some George Inn players who have infiltrated it in the string section, and making some spring-pin money on the side, but can u spot them? They were more recognisable in the Store Wars piece particularly the gourd-i-hurdy player). :ph34r:

Usual knitpicking -- always spoils the guilt-free pleasure of a lethally good squeeze. Why not use the Patented Chriscracker for the satisfaction of nailing with instant death. Design modelled on the original concerNita, using high quality re-tuned steel reeds. When a reed contamination is spotted, reeds can also be pinged which lifts up blocking detritus, live or dead, for fast fingering. Take one with you to every session and you will always be ready to deal with any new friends you might pick up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N-wRQAL2XY there has to be a toon dying to come out from this...something like "Headless Hop"

You don't expect us to double up in laughter at a weak-kneed joke like that surely?

rather a long listen/viewing but reinforces the need for care:

Any suggestions as to how one can check out this person's other stuff without the first reference or his ebay name etc.......???

Yes, tis true the full number of the Beast is 666, which refer to ICA chairman's stickey-uppey-eyebrows and satanically delightful curled moustache -- credit where credit is due (hellspeak for subscriptions are now due or new ones welcome - details at http://www.concertina.org/ica/ And yes, three booklets arrived and I cannot believe what good value they are (as part of the subs) if only for the toons inside which would cost a whack if ordered from a regular music shop. [Jon, that's a pint of red Kriek shandy u owe me, as agreed. Delete this from email after reading :ph34r: Yours for eternity in Aculard: WHO, as always, recommends: "if you have not enough blow at least keep on sucking the air that is our lifeblood-- tho always test for concertinitis antibodies before using your sharps on the heaving bellows].

All instruments. I may even take my swanee whistle Al Are you going to bring a kazoo too? Then you could have a game of swanee/kazoo. There are already 2 kazoos in my bag (plus combs and greaseproof paper, an ocarina which still defeats me and a water-fed bird warbler but latter only works with highland mineral water for Scottish toons). Can someone lend me a Welsh triangle?

All instruments. I may even take my swanee whistle Al Wot abaht a Day concerto in the key of W (Warwick) or at least a special toon for Swanees (plural) with massed instruments? I have just cleaned out my dark brown/blackish 1920s merrican one** and fear I should have used grease instead of oil as it is a bit (air) leaky on parts of the slide. If you (and hopefully others) have yours, I am game to learn a special toob toon for Warwick.....?? :blink: ** 4th visual at: http://whistlemuseum.com/2009/03/29/strauss-slide-whistle--many-other-samples--at-work-to-be-cont.aspx
