    I looked at the Amazon listing for TI Bebop 11s today and saw this:
    Thomastik-Infeld Accordion Accessory (BB111)

    Have I been playing the accordion all along without knowing it?

    Here's one explanation for it that they had on Amazon's Q&A section. I have no idea if the guy made it up.
    Accordion to folklore. accordionists in certain remote Alpine hamlets high in the Swiss Alps, used to tie dried tree turtle shells to their instruments to ward away evil spirits. They used household string for a while, but found that it was not durable enough to handle the unforgiving climate, so they started using guitar stings. Thru trial and error they found that the Thomastic Jazz Bebop string were ideal for this task,. This tradition dates back 300 years.

    Tree turtles and mountain oysters make a fantastic stew. Serve over angel's hair.

    It is the echo of April 1 that takes 10 days to reflect back to source from the Swiss Alps.
