‘14 Years Ago’ – Another record for the accordion!by Rob Howard |
There have been all sorts of records set concerning the accordion, such as the largest and smallest instruments, largest ensemble of players, playing for hours on end, etc. The Accordions Worldwide news for February 20th 1998 included an item about the longest accordion in the world, which must require a considerable amount of space to play. What other strikingly different accordions are out there, we wonder? LONGEST ACCORDION IN THE WORLD Contributed by Uli Ebner The Handharmonika Orchester Albtal has made the longest accordion in the world, which is standing in the town of St. Blasien in the Black forest area, Germany. The accordion stretches to 10.34 meters long and club members built it to celebrate the 40th birthday of the club. The orchestra is now in the Guinness Book of Records, registration number 339098 and performed ‘Snow Waltz’ to celebrate. |
