The Double Breasted Accordion is a
waistcoat which has been converted into
a
musical instrument.
It's a simple instrument to construct. All
you need do is divide the bellows of an
accordion in two and replace the breast
pockets of your waistcoat with each of
the
concertina halves,
make them airtight
and
connect them together with a tube on the
inside. (It's best to use a small
instrument
like a squeeze box as a full sized
accordion is only suitable for a very large
person)
When not in use, the instrument will
protrude forward like two squared or
hexagonal breasts, covered with buttons,
and make a novel item under a tight T-
shirt with its mistaken appearance of
having multiple nipples.
Just as your assembled onlookers
become sufficiently curious, you simply
whip off your T-shirt, and begin playing
a
jig, alternatively pumping your hands in
and out towards you, instead of in the
lateral mode of a conventional accordion.

+ I love it, but does one play it with the *buttons* on the waistcoat, or are there other buttons on the accordian? |
|
| |
It just plays with the buttons already on
it, as it usually would. The buttons on
the waistcoat only serve to keep the
garment in place. |
|
| |
this is mad of course. Love it. + |
|
| |
I'm picturing a cheerful cockney jauntily playing this down the rub-a-dub. |
|
| |
It also offers said player some useful protective padding should he be violently assaulted by lager louts who are irked that his music is drowning out the football commentary. [+] |

Makes a bit of a racket when you're running after a bus, I'll bet... |
|

I, sir, demand an illustration. |
|
| |
you sir may have your wish in a few
days time |
|
| |
Thank you 10, from the bottom of my concertina. |
|
| |
Where are the free-reeds going to vibrate? In a the watch pockets? |
|
| |
I think the funniest part would be the descending note when you let them go. |
|
| |
I'm not certain, but I was just watching a show about Cirque Du Soleil's- Beatles Show, Love - And I think they had something like this on stage |
|
| |
I'm still waiting for my illustration...
Did you think I had forgotten? |
|
| |
"Nobody forgets the [xenzag] illustration". |
|
| |

similar rubbish. How lucky are you ? |
