I saw a pretty coll item in a magazine tonight. It was a Hohner Trumpet Call Harmonica. Apparently they were made in the early 1900s, but if anyone has any more info please post. It's a bit strange beacuase the one on Elderly is only $85 and the one in Hemmecher Schlemmer is $120 .Any insight is appreciated. http://elderly.com/images/new_instruments/175N/HO220-C_front.jpg

The one Elderly has is a Reissue of the 1907 model that Hohner just put out. Good reviews. http://coast2coastmusic.com/cgi-bin/cart/HH220.html dave

Gee, I wonder why those never caught on.  How do they sound? Like little trumpets?

I haven't heard one, but I like the sound of octave harps. Here are some more interesting Hohner re-issues: Echobell http://coast2coastmusic.com/cgi-bin/cart/HH2260_28.html Double Puck http://coast2coastmusic.com/cgi-bin/cart/HHM553.html?id=hbVFQG26 Puck http://coast2coastmusic.com/cgi-bin/cart/HH550.html dave

It's basically a Hohner Auto-Valve harmonica, which is an octave harmonica with the same note-layout as a diatonic. I don't know what affect the bells have on the sound, but they give it a cool "Stroh" look. I would buy one if I had the spare cash, but it's pretty far down the list, somewhere between my Don-Mo Galvo Uke and Remo Coffee House Drum.
