Item Type: Press Cutting - MintingSummaryFull Description: A large press cutting from the Sunday Times of Feb 12th 1961
claiming "Concertinas (good for Bach) are humming". The article
mentions the order for 500 concertinas from Bolivia, and quotes Harry
Minting ("sales manager at Wheatstone's Islington factory") as saying
"In this building, accordion is a dirty word. It 'squeezed the
concertina off the stage' - Today people still pay the concertina but
treat it as a joke. Clowns for instance. And television cramps music in the
home". Source Catalogue No: The Concertina Museum: 2.1.1.1-042 |
