Definitely! I have two "suitcase" melodeons that I've used for busking at farmers markets and similar places -- I've seen photos of the smaller model being used for battlefield church services in Korea, and the larger was said to have been used for tent revivals (6 stops and 2 carrying handles, a heavy sucker!). I'm not sure which broke me of pumping "in time": waltzes or really fast jigs, as both presented problems.... Crowds love those little organs, however. Keep those cards and letters coming in re ETDs and Ears -- I'm collecting all the info and distilling it into... something... which I will post to the list. One thing I would appreciate is knowing whether you strip mute or tune unisons as you go, regardless of other methodology. I'm always SO glad when I ask you folks a question, as you invariably hand me a great education (not to mention the entertainment <g>). Thanks!
