Helen Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) Well I hope I did this poll correctly. The idea is did you start on accordion and then add the concertina. If so, which accordion and then which type of concertina. By button accordion, I also meant melodeans. Hope I haven't termed everything incorrectly. This is just for fun. If I did this right, then I'll try concertina first and then accordion. Please answer, please have fun. Helen If you play more than one type of accordion, the one you identify yourself with. And if you play more than one type of concertina, the first one you tried. Edited April 18, 2004 by Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) I can't participate in this one, since I didn't play accordion first. I wonder if it's possible to add a response category to your poll. I suspect not, but I think it would be helpful to have a "none of the above" category, so you could distinguish between those who would have responded if they fit a category from those who didn't want to respond. Oh, except that in order to view the poll results I had to declare a non-vote, so now I can't go back and fill in a NOTA vote, anyway. Well, maybe next poll.

Helen Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Well, Jim, I didn't add a none of the above because the poll was designed specifically for people who had first played accordion and then played concertina. The other poll was the reverse. So paradoxically, I could only vote in one of my own polls. I figured if you did not fit, then the poll did not encompass your instruments. Perhaps I was wrong. And no, I did not include chromatic accordions. Basically I was interested in the correlation of concertinas with accordions including the match with piano keys or buttons. Guess I could have been broader, but hey it is my poll and will answer my curiosity. I'll do better as I get the hang of polling. Maybe.

Helen Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Oops. If people vote, but don't post any message, the poll keeps going lower down the page and maybe falls off. So I'll just leave this message hoping to bring it to some people's attention. Also the other poll for the reverse order, concertina first and then accordion. Thanks.

Helen Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Ignore Jim. Keep Helen's poll from falling off the page. Post a message! Do it now. Do it for the accordions. Do it for the concertinas. Do it for me. Hee hee hee. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henk van Aalten Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Post a message! Do it now. Do it for the accordions. Do it for the concertinas. Do it for me. Helen Looking at the two polls I have my doubt about your neutrality . Have a look at the attached image. My conclusion is that you have a heart for those people that change from concertina to an accordeon !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Oh Henk you Sweetie, I played accordion first, albeit just for a tiny bit when I was a very very small child. So I kinda see myself there. And I can only vote in that poll. But the other poll is curiosity on my part. If you get used to playing the buttons on the concertina, do you go to button accordion? Or is it the type of music you play that leads you to the button accordion? Of course the poll won't say. But you devil you, you think I am trying to draw people away from the concertina and to the accordion, don't you? Hee hee hee You are giving me too much credit. Hmmmmm. Hmmm.

Henk van Aalten Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 But you devil you, you think I am trying to draw people away from the concertina and to the accordion, don't you?

Helen Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Looks so far like most accordion players go on to the anglo concertina. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Oh hey, just noticed that I am a heavyweight boxer. Congratulations! (So 500 is the score for that? I was already over 800 when Ken changed the rating system to give me that title. I wonder where the next level lies.) OK, the rest of you. Come on!

JimLucas Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Jim "The Pusher" Lucas Please don't get the wrong idea. The "stuff" I "push" has indeed been shown -- in dependent studies -- to be addictive, and even to induce a narcotic state in some individuals. But in widespread, millenia-long human trials encompassing both sexes, all ages and ethnic groups, and all other major and minor population subgroups, music and music-related activities have been shown to have a signficant positive effect, with no evidence of consequent violent or antisocial behavior, or other psychological or physical disability, or indeed any other undesirable side effects. (An urge to dance is not considered to be undesirable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
