Re: Subject: Get your looping music on ther airwaves (Was OT:CD-promo)



all this polka talk reminded me of a strange instrument i ran across 
a couple of years ago, but passed on...

At the local swap meet, a hispanic couple had a Farfisa Accordian, 
which i didn't buy, since we couldn't seem to get the bellows to 
open.  Strange, though...it had a 1/4" jack on it, and the lady said 
there was a speaker that went with it (at home...why they didn't 
bring that too, i'll never know.  Although they knew VERY little 
about the instrument and i suspect they picked it up from someone 
else.)

A Farfisa Electric Accordian, maybe?  anybody ever seen such a thing? 
It was damn cool looking.  I just didn't need another headache on my 
hands... and i already had a hammered dulcimer, which covered me in 
the 'odd instrument i need to apply much more time than i have to 
master in any sort of reasonable manner' department.

best,

rich
