Jeffries And Stradivarius

[Pete Dickey]

Hi All

 

I got talking to a chap the other day. He was looking really glum so I asked him what his problem was.

 

"The problem is that I've got a Jeffries and a Stradivarius" he said.

 

Now anyone with a Jeffries and a Stradivarius has got no right to look so miserable and I told him that.

 

He replied "The trouble is that Stradivarius made rubbish concertinas!"

 

Keep Smiling

Pete - surely the punch line should be -

 

He replied " The trouble is that Stradivarius made rubbish concertinas and Jeffries made crap violins !"

Quote without comment:

This better be a real Stradivarius, else I'm out 50 bucks.

No chaps I reckon you've got it wrong, must be a typo error:

 

Jeffries made Crabb Violins ....... and did a swap with him for top notch Anglos !!

So now you know .... the 'missing link'!

('Stradivarius' ? ...... probably a Stagi re-badged by a dealer on the fiddle )

Careful, there. I think I recall that one of the makes/models of Chemnitzer concertina is named "Stradivarius".
