But, none of those would be worth tearing apart for the wood - not enough
wood. Maybe the accordian keyboard, but what else could you use it for?

Bagpipes.

If I could afford them, I'd *own* a set of bagpipes.

Hmmm, would that make you sadistic, masochistic, or sadomasochistic?

Okay, I'll go for the accordion.

Damn straight. Disassemble it, along with the person who gave it.

I happen to like both good bagpipe, and banjo, music. I did say
"good". You have to put it in the proper perspective. You can always
walk away from the bagpipe or banjo. But, consider the times you've
been in traffic, windows up, and one of those ricer boys has his "sound
system" turned up and that's all you can hear. Or, who parks, and walks
away, with his noise maker still on.

Got this from a banjo player--
When can you tell when a banjo has perfect pitch?

When it doesn't hit the sides of the dumpster

More banjo jokes anyone?

Well that depends on the 8 year old. My kid has been wailing out amazing
rhythms since about that age. He's 12 now.

No, give it back to the person who gave it as a gift, but leave it in
one piece. Remember to stick it "where the sun don't shine." They
WON'T do that again.

I used to live in Pittsburgh, which has several long (~1 mile) tunnels with
major highways going through them. When you are driving through one and
someone else has his radio booming out, everything vibrates. The first time
I experienced it, I wondered what was going on - earthquake?
If you want to disassemble something "musical" do one of those.

I *think* it was Elton John who compared the sound of a banjo to that of a
pair of tin cans and a string rolling down a flight of stairs.

I've looked at making a set, but it's very fiddly.

Heh. Actually, I've been doing folk music for a couple of decades.
Never did the accordian thing, but I'm guilty of most of the others.

Q: You are locked up in a room with a rapist, a serial killer, and a banjo
player. You have a gun with just two
bullets. Who do you shoot?

A: The banjo player. Twice.
