alcatraz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Filming Escape from Alcatraz 1962 documentary for the BBC and History Channel. Prisoners used concertina to blow up their raft but the instrument's keys were removed. There are two schools of thought on what type (Clint Eastwood movie used larger one and another person thought more of the Hohner type-Hopefully, the Alcatraz historian will know more today. I am reluctant to ruin a nice vintage piece (not to mention they are rather pricey). Does anyone know where I could source one in poor condition (doesn't need to play at all) for this documentary? I need the instrument no later than this Friday. Will pay for overnight shipping. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The quick and dirty way is to buy one of these, mask off the buttons and spray it black. Overnight delivery included in the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
