I'm a Yorkie!
My other melodeon's a fiddle, but one of my Hohners has six strings! I also play a very red Hawkins Bazaar in C and a generic Klingenthaler spoon bass in F.!! My other pets (played) are gobirons - Hohner Marine Band in C, Hohner Tremolo in D and a Chinese Thingy Tremolo in G.

I love them - but I'm a little distressed and somewhat concerned that none of the gnomes look terribly happy or content with their lot - is the bandleader stressing them out? Perhaps the accordion players have issues?

They are all probably quite pissed off at being 7" tall, and life in general considering the ridicule and prejudice they receive. Wouldn't you be?

That being the case, where did they get such small melodeons ?  There's definitely a market for them if they play well !

If they were four inches taller and played the piano, you could take them round the pubs ...... ..  >:E
