Two people playing the same melodeon!
« on: February 10, 2011, 09:27:05 AM »

I may be getting mixed up with something else here, but can anyone remember a link being posted for some footage of a box strapped to one person - who was playing the left hand - but a second person was playing the right???

Not that one Steve.

The box was securely strapped to one person as normal. This person played the left hand and operated the bellows  - the right hand belonged to a different person who was positioned behind the other, so his arm was coming out from under the arm pit of the person to whom the box was strapped.

  I think they used to something like this for comedic effect in ' Whose line is it anyway?'

Me and a mate used to stand face to face, slightly offset so that we could play each others right hands.  Impressive trick but very easy to do as you play the bellows for yourself even though your right hand is on the other box.  Sort of thing you do after a few drinks etc.  ;D >:E

Haven't seen it on Youtube but I bet it's there.
