Sorry it took so long to respond; I've been having difficulty posting

happy, healthy and content in your new marriage! Congratulations, again!
Lynda, thank you for your kind words!
So, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on our definitions and
terms? Thank you for your opinion.
were to have visited *our* geographic location and actually played and
examined the construction of the historic accordion family instruments
you have described as a squeezebox historian. I find it curious to note
that you have never been to the A World of Accordions Museum to actually
view the nearly 1000 instruments on display and see their construction,
yet you purport to be an expert in their history, classification and
construction.
Ah, Lynda! You have discovered my secret! I am not an authority on
anything! I am simply a pretender!
Please, before you make yourself out to be *the* authority in these
matters, you should read the accordion family instrument entries soon to
be published in the Groves Dictionary. Is this not considered to be
*the* authority in the academic world of music?
How can I read something which has not been published? Will you kindly
send me a copy, as I assume you have read an advance copy.
While purely academic and intellectual pursuits are worthwhile and
admired, getting the practical experience in restoring, playing and
comparing one instrument to another while they sit side-by-side and
classifying these many old instruments in logical groupings is also
worthwhile and academic in nature, I assure you. The invitation has been
extended.
Best regards,
Lynda
Hello again! I've been meaning to visit the museum ever since Hemil
invited me a couple years ago; it is just a long drive for me -- close to
1000 miles.
But may I suggest that a museum built by an accordionist might have a
slight perponderance of accordions in it, just as a museum built by a
bandoneonist might have a slight perponderance of bandoneons in it.
I have visited a "so called" museum of free-reed instruments built by a
harmonium repairer which might make one think that the accordion was
simply a primitive relative of the reed organ!
So... ._. idk what this is -.-replies in dejanews.

I thank you all for your invigorating and entertaining posts. However,
I don't believe that this analogy holds water, as it compares apples to
oranges...
Henry, so nice to hear from you again! I hope you and Mary Kaye areI don't believe that this analogy holds water, as it compares apples to

...By this faulty logic, if accordions, bandoneons and concertinas are
all accordions, then one could equally assume that Lincoln Towncars, > Dodge Ram Trucks and Volkswagens are all Lincolns.
You missed the point.all accordions, then one could equally assume that Lincoln Towncars, > Dodge Ram Trucks and Volkswagens are all Lincolns.
... However, we must not let our own geographical peculiarities color
our vision ...
I prefer to call them free-reed instruments as the term is accurate and
100% acceptable to all.
