Hornophone
The hornophone is a musical instrument composed of a number of reed bulb horns, typically used as vehicle horns, clamped into a metal frame. The arrangement of the horns is much like a xylophone or glockenspiel, tuned to a heptatonic scale. Ordinarily there is either a higher or lower rack or mounting of horns tuned to sharps and flats, like the black notes of a musical keyboard. The instrument is typically played standing, by squeezing the bulbs of the horns.
Known Performers
The following are known performers of the Hornophone:
Harry Hill.[1][2] Harry played the hornophone during his Harry Hill in Hooves Live tour.
Nutty Noah. Noah has also modified the hornophone with the addition of an equivalent rack of cowbells, played with a drum stick.[4]
