drbones Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Dang! I should of got here sooner. Y'all done got all the good ones. It does bare a striking resemblance to one I saw at a place down a winding road in Mississippi called "The Pit". I wondered why everybody was wearing leggings. (By the way, I was driving my Dodge Viper with the Cobra jet engine) It certainly looks to have copper headed screws. I wonder if it's got coiled springs. At any rate, it looks well articulated. OK, I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jowaisas Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 ...the owner before her was titled and Sir Robert Pence. The instrument, of course, was referred to as the Sir Pence concertina. Greg I would point out that "Sir" goes with the first name, not the last, but that might be too constricting. (please don't strike me) jdms jdms, You are absolutely correct. To find one more pun I must have been asping at straws. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Drinkwater Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Apparently, it is not only us humans, who started a concertina movement. Snakes apparently do too, as part of their method of locomotion, viz: Concertina movement is the movement occurring in snakes and other legless organisms that consists of gripping or anchoring with portions of the body while pulling/pushing other sections in the direction of movement. I just thought I'd squeeze this in to the discussion! I wonder if they make a sound or sounds while doing so, apart from rattling, that is?

JimLucas Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Note to aspiring anglo players: This instrument is not -- I repeat, NOT -- suitable for Irish music... and especially not on St. Patrick's Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
