Perry Werner Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) Yeah, and it hurt a whole heck of a lot more! I think Chemnitzer translates "a musical(?) instrument which can also double as a weapon used on the performer when played poorly or at all" By the way if, saxophone players are called saxophonists and flute players are called flautists and fiddle players are called fiddlers and concertina players (the real ones) are called concertinists, what are chemnitzer players called? I might be sorry I asked. Edited February 23, 2007 by Perry Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think Chemnitzer translates"a musical(?) instrument which can also double as a weapon used on the performer when played poorly or at all" Not the same thing at all, but one night in New York I did successfully defend myself against a trio of muggers with the aid of my tin whistle. Didn't have the concertina with me at the time, so I can't say for sure how effective it might be as a weapon. By the way if, saxophone players are called saxophonists and flute players are called flautists and fiddle players are called fiddlers and concertina players (the real ones) are called concertinists, what are chemnitzer players called? Hmm. If Chemnitzer made mandolins and the like, then the players would be Chemnitpickers. But they don't and they're not, so I don't know. "Chemnitzerists" sounds like a form of repetitive stress disorder (Chemnitz wrists?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, if he was playing English, his music would be considered non-existent, and he'd be kindly laughed at by bemused patrons, wandering what is that idle man doing in the orchestra?

Theodore Kloba Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 what are chemnitzer players called?Better answers than my above attempt: "Concertina players", since they don't know about the other kind of concertinas. Stanley Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarussell Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Chemnitzer players could possibly be called ChemNeitzscheans. I am sorry for the death of a player, even a Chemnitscher player. I have long thought that the playing of a musical instrument, for the sheer joy of it, was a very positive persuit. Even if I don't particularly like a piece of music being presented, I admire the impulse to play. In my own case, I wish I were a better layer!

John Wild Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 "In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play." - Neitzche I may have attributed the first two of the following quotes the wrong way round, or they may all be wrongly attributed as I am only passing on what was told to me:- 1. To do is to be - Neitzche 2. To be is to do - Freud 3. Do be, Do, be, do!! - Frank Sinatra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
