Angry #accordion
c0c0bird@AccordionBruce @yourautisticlife Three years ago at #cccamp23 - I don't know where the aggressive accordion resides today. It could attack any hater anywhere in the world. Beware!

There’s definitely a story there
Like none of the hurdy gurdy players rated a sign?
@AccordionBruce @yourautisticlife @ANDERSTORPSFESTIVALEN Well, the story must be long. Why did the camp guys ban accordions, but not hurdy gurdys? My part of the story is only that I visited the camp with an old secondhand accordion that I didn't want to keep for long anyway (would never take my good ones on vacation). When I noticed the mysterious no-go area, I dropped the accordion before passing. Their tent village, their rules!

Last thing I heard was that @guenther took it, but could not carry it home. But he found some artist who somehow adopted it. Where could it be today? Was it played or turned into an art installation? So many stories untold...

guenther@c0c0bird I don't remember the details anymore; I think it ended up with somewhere in the Scandinavian village?
@guenther @AccordionBruce @yourautisticlife @ANDERSTORPSFESTIVALEN Maybe we'll find out next year at #cccamp27
Skyr@c0c0bird @AccordionBruce @yourautisticlife @ANDERSTORPSFESTIVALEN they never heard hurdy gurdys. The only possible explanation 😉
@skyr @AccordionBruce @yourautisticlife @ANDERSTORPSFESTIVALEN Note: find a hurdy gurdy and bring it to next #cccamp
@c0c0bird @AccordionBruce @yourautisticlife @ANDERSTORPSFESTIVALEN better: Several. Detuned (ok, that will happen automatically 😅 )

First person I met with her #HurdyGurdy talked about going to #FolkMusic groups where people had never met someone who knew how to tune one
And having to reintroduce the instrument as if to frightened villagers
@AccordionBruce ouch. This is bitter.
I once met a guy who had bought a hurdygurdy only months ago and was pretty unexperienced, yet totally convinced of his talent 😬 We politely asked if we could test the instrument - and tuned it. Upon returning, he de-tuned it again 😱
The evening's hero was that guy who (directly after the next song) stood up and shouted "hey, thanks for entertaining us, I'll buy you a beer, would you like to join our table" 😂

@skyr
Some instruments were the hacked-together height of technology to meet the needs in their time
But in retrospect absurd compared to later innovations
And yet unique and charming in their own right
The #HurdyGurdy was the #Mellotron of the 15th century
@AccordionBruce I'll have to remember _that_ comparison 😂
