Geoffrey Crabb Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) Hi Peter, believe it or not, I still have some of that red leather. Geoff Edited October 25, 2004 by Geoffrey Crabb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm clapp Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 So, Geoff, can you tell us a bit about this particular concertina? I'm sure it would be of interest to many c.netters. Or would it perhaps be politic to wait until after the auction closes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Prebble Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) Hi Geoff, Are they this colour 'in the wild' or do they turn red when boiled in salt water ?? Be lucky Dave Edited October 26, 2004 by Dave Prebble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Are they this colour 'in the wild' or do they turn red when boiled in salt water ?? Perhaps you could try the experiment and report back on your results Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the owner can be contacted via Ebay with any questions. We also made a Powder blue version which may have been the third instrument in the trio.

Alan Day Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Dave is this part of your on going experiment of concertina dipping ?The first being your Jeffries in the Manchester Ship canal. I am sure we will all be interested in your final report on this subject? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Hi to Alan and Chris, Despite prolonged effort and not a little guile, I was unable to raise the temperature of the Macclesfield canal to boiling point, so the original series of experiments was sadly abandoned. Notwithstanding the current resurgence in interest, there appears to be a shortage of willing 'guinea pigs' amongst concertina owners. Being reluctant to give up the crusade for knowledge, I now intend to conduct the next series of experiments by boiling accordions in waters of varying salinity. It will also be interesting to determine whether the 'screams' often reported to occur at the moment of immersion, emanate from the accordion itself or are in fact screams of delight from onlooking concertina players.

I'm sure it's really just a Bernoulli-Doppler effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Chambers Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I'm sure it's really just a Bernoulli-Doppler effect. I didn't even know Bernoulli-Doppler made accordions ! Are they Italian ? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Stephenson Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 Further to Daves experiments with bioling water, I hear rumours that in certain 'chippies' in Scotland One can purchase concertinas deep-fried in batter. A danger to health if you ask me, much better to toss lightly in olive oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Brook Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 (edited) I'm sure it's really just a Bernoulli-Doppler effect. Not sure about the relationship here Jim. As I understand it the Bernoulli equation relates to airflow (or movements in fluids - at least it did in my degree - airspeed instruments on aircraft work on the principles described by this equation), whilst doppler effect is to do with the wavelength of light, sound etc. "blue shifting" or "red shifting" relative to your observation. ( is this the tongue in cheek smily?) Edited October 28, 2004 by Peter Brook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
