StuartEstell Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 You know you're coming at things from the wrong angle when your first thought is to wonder whether it was a piano accordion or one of the continental chromatic systems. Or even a melodeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Minnie Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm on the same page as Stuart, my first thought was about the shape of the box. Was it square or shaped like the instrument. I say shame on their music program if the band director does not know "whether the instrument belongs to an individual student or whether it might possibly belong to the school district, even though the instructor had never seen the box previously."

Bruce McCaskey Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 A later article reports that it did not belong to the school, so they speculate that either a student or a parent left it in the band room. Apparently no one has come forth to claim it so far. http://www.theindependent.com/news/local/accordion-that-caused-evacuation-at-walnut-was-not-school-property/article_1ac996d4-c711-11e5-8879-4fecb0d6d27b.html?mode=jqm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mansfield Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 You know you're coming at things from the wrong angle when your first thought is to wonder whether it was a piano accordion or one of the continental chromatic systems. Or even a melodeon. Oh thank you Stuart, I was really concerned it was just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttonon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This reminds me of the joke about Joe, an accordion player who met a friend for lunch in a restaurant, and in the middle of lunch expressed concern whether his accordion would be safe inside his car left on the street, even though he locked the doors. His friend said that locked doors didn't matter much because in the city, robbers just smash the windows. So after worrying through the rest of lunch, Joe makes back to his car, to find its back window smashed wide open. But then, when he opens the door, he finds not just his accordion, but two accordions. So getting back to Walnut Middle School, I wonder.

John Wild Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I am reminded of another incident some years ago. An accordion player was catching a ferry from West of England back to Ireland. After the ferry sailed it was realised the accordion in its case was still on the quayside. As no one on shore was admitting to owning the box, it was treated as a suspcious package and blown up by the security services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
