Wondering what to do rather than buy a missile or bomb today?

You could feed all the region's hungry children for the cost of this war

Or cure a disease

Or buy this €30,000 🪗 instead of a drone

it's carbon fiber. that makes it bulletproof/tactical *AND* a musical instrument, right? :)

@paul_ipv6 @AccordionBruce Carbon fiber is very NOT bullet proof.

edit: What you want is a Polycarbonate Accordious machine. Perhaps some kind of Lexane-based titanium frame.

I think you might not want to drop this accordion

But (if it didn’t cost €30,000) it’d be interesting to see some comparison tests

The aluminum standup bass I saw once dating to the Second World War on the other hand…

Used for touring USO bands, and as of 1999 or so fighting the powers in the buildup to the anti-WTO protests in Seattle 🪧 🐢

there were some aluminum bowl back mandolins back in the 1920s.
