i usually see concertinas in movies from 17th/18th century on ships, which is also off, since they were a 19th century invention?

as a guitarist, i also get annoyed every time i see someone playing guitar in a renaissance setting. the modern guitar is a quite recent invention comparitively.

Sorry 😳

None of that was to seem like a heavy response and I hope it didn’t defer like a big flame

I can take it down if so

Just me rambling on about a personal harmless obsession

Which I’m happy to be proved wrong about. Though then I’d feel compelled to fix it in future copies of my book

Writing all that in the middle of the night, it’s got me inspired to make a blog post about it so sincere thanks

The Golden Age of Piracy was between the 1650s and the 1730s, so 18th century yes?

When I say “accordions” I include concertinas because they’ve both got key patents the same year, 1829. So we can say they were invented that year more or less

That puts every squeeze box 100 years after every fictional “pirate“ movie

But you can have one in the soundtrack! 🎥 🪗 🏴‍☠️ 🍿
