Thread Name: Another Approach to the Anglo Concertina
Subject: RE: Another Approach to the Anglo Concertina
Robin, if you read this I just want to add one comment: Yous said
"In short, you fit some instruments but not others!"
That was the general approach in "ergonomics" 50+ years ago saying basically "Fitting the man to the task" and resulting in the common ambition *selecting* "the right man for the job". Naturally that can be an efficient way looking at it from an elitistic viewpoint BUT today the general approach has switched ( and it is hard to deny the humanitarian progress in that) to saying " Fitting the task to the man" - meaning that the work/tool better be adjusted to suit firstly the general population but also individuals with restrictions of their functional capacities. Isn't that likeable ?
