The Anthony Faas question has been dealt with on Mudcat before. He did NOT invent -or even propose to improve - the piano accordian. Unfortunately, at least one accordian-oriented website implies that he did. What he did do is laid out in his patent application, which is cited (if not linked) in the 'Cat thread that also explains what he did. Here's the link to the thread: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=89443 Us Yanks get enough grief for the cowflops we have put our feet in. We don't claim to have invented the accordian. - George (just glad the right folks did invent the thing)
