Chris Timson Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 On the other hand I'm pretty sure that mornington crescent NEVER showed up on french TV. You have my deepest sympathy. Perhaps, one day ... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Eye Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Mine is of me holding my grandson. With hardly a squeeze, he is capable of hitting higher notes than I could ever hope to hit on my concertina, and he is much more musical than I can ever hope to be. The picture is from his baptism, the little guy turns 2 tomorrow. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frw Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have been waiting for just the right avatar before picking one that would represent me well. I recently found a named variety of bearded-iris called "concertina." Fits right in with my hobby of gardening well. Looks like I will need to add this variety to my garden. I am 1/3 of the way paying for my new and first box. I can't wait. Hopefully I can begin playing by Christmas. Farion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) The one I use now, I found HERE It seemed to me, to be the perfect image for an Avatar on a Concertina forum. i.e. Two Concertina enthusiasts having a musical discussion! Judging by the button patterns though, I'd say they're probably playing Duets! Cheers Dick Edited June 13, 2009 by Ptarmigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandoneon: "Siamese twins connected at the bandoneon (a free-reed instrument similar to the accordion and concertina). The faces are modeled after Astor Piazzolla, the Argentine tango composer and bandoneon player." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
