There I was yesterday, sitting in my workshop, fettling away at some old melodeon, when the phone rings.
"John Kirkpatrick here. Can you do The Knob on Sally's Box?"

You hum it, I'll play it John!

A Wizard's Staff has a knob on the end.

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 think he meant a broken bass button but I was laughing too much to take it in.  ;D

Well of course she has one - you just have to look for it. Had it been in her box it would have been rather more compromising...
