Which made it hard for #accordion manufacturers wanting to move towards mass production in the 1920s or so
That’s when American dealers started pushing immigrants to play the new-fangled #piano accordion 🪗

On #WorldConcertinaDay we remember #CharlesWheatstone who invented the English #concertina, 3-D glasses, the telegraph, measured the speed of light, and every electrical engineer uses his Wheatstone bridge circuit
So if you do practically anything electronic 📱today while wearing 3-D glasses 😵💫 and playing your concertina 🪗 at the speed of light 💡 over the telegraph ⚡️ thank Charles Wheatstone
