sewing machines vs. piano accordions
In the last couple of weeks I have twice carried large heavy objects
between this village and the middle of Edinburgh. One was an old piano accordion I've just bought and the other was Marion's Janome 6500 sewing machine, going in for repairs (it's better now). Which got me thinking. They weigh about the same; maybe the accordion is a bit heavier, it's an old and very-high-end model with about 500 reeds inside it. But accordionists just stand up and play them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCnOxchEe-A How come they don't make sewing machines you can strap on your front and walk around with? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

They probably don't make sewing machine that strap on your front to walk
around with because it is to hard to do while eating chocolate/ Just a guess. Glad Marion's machine is better and you have a new toy. Taria "Jack Campin" wrote in message ...

Thank you! Interestingly I just came across this: http://www.michiganaccordion.org/howe/ about an instruction book for an early kind of accordion published in 1843 by Elias Howe, Jr. The dates Doktorski gives are slightly different from those of Elias Howe, Jr., the inventor of the sewing machine, so I'm not sure if they were two different people. It would make sense for the same guy to be interested in two different kinds of complicated small machine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
