t-shirt

Accordion Noir t-shirts  with Flutina Girl on the front in a frame made of Bruce's 100 year old Hohner, and with our slogan on the back:  "Ruthlessly pursuing the idea that the accordion is just another instrument."  Lovely.  Wear them with pride, because you're so cool.

They cost $20 here in Vancouver, or $25 with postage to wherever else people find themselves.
S, M, L, XL (the wide kind, not the long XL kind).

They're made by Fairware, a local women-owned company that specializes in fair labour and environmental shirts and stuff.  "Why Flutina Girl?"  Flutinas were a really early kind of accordion, she's holding one, and we love her.  She's probably about 130 years old now.  http://squeezyboy.blogs.com/squeezytunes/flutina/index.html
