          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  Ah it's think is it? That makes more sense

                          Ahoj! That's Czech for Hi! Whilst we wait for vints, on the subject of the accordian, Nikolai Chaikin also wrote two sonatas for it. (I like to throw in a bit of trivia now and again)
