meltzer Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 This has probably been done before, but I thought it'd be interesting to take a current snapshot of what system(s) posters play. I've made it multiple choice*, just in case people can't make their minds up what their favourite is. I'm an Anglo-ist, having played the melodeon since the age of 12 or 13. I had a go on an English once, but couldn't make head nor tail of it. * or least I think I have -- this is the first poll I've attempted on here.

Pete Dunk Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'll split it 50/50 with English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltzer Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) And the English system streaks ahead! I'm on the edge of my seat. Edit: neck & neck again. Exciting stuff. Edited November 30, 2007 by meltzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 My brain can't think in two directions. English. Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 * or least I think I have -- this is the first poll I've attempted on here. By "multiple choice", do you mean that one can select multiple answers? That's not the usual meaning of "multiple choice" where I come from, but it seems to be what you've done. Nice. I didn't know one could do that. I've marked all four categories. While I play English more than any other, I choose to play them all, even a couple that I don't have available -- Wheatstone's Double, and the Linton system -- but would choose to play if I could get my hands on them. If you wanted me to restrict myself to instruments I currently have available to play, I would still check the fourth category on the basis of my Pitt-Taylor duet. Strictly speaking, it is a "duet", but it has an unusual -- unique, I believe -- keyboard layout, and you have unfortunately not distinguished among the different duet systems. (To a duet player, I think that's not much different from allowing only two choices... "anglo", and "non-anglo". ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wntrmute Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) My first choice and, in fact, the remaining top ten choices weren't on the list (being as they are some of the various and sundry portions of the feminine anatomy). However, within the context of musical instruments I have listed the only kind of sqeezable instrument that I have. I suppose that would be my favorite, by default.

squeezbxhvn Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I`ve got 3 anglos.....so give me 3 votes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I`ve got 3 anglos.....so give me 3 votes! So then I should have 5 votes for my anglos and 4 votes for my partner's Englishes? I think just one vote for anglos would be easier. Chris PS I think he's counting players. not instruments ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would do my head in, I'm sure. (I've got an A/D/G box too, btw -- Corona II, had it since I was 13/14). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
