NE of the latest creations of the progressive Hohner
factories. This instrument is patented and consists of
a regular German model Accordeon with a brass phonograph
horn attached. The horn is so fastened to the instrument
that the sound of the reeds passes through the full length of
the same and thus a remarkable effect is produced. When
the tones strike the brass horn they are rounded out and vi-
brate to such an extent that the ordinary Accordeon tone is
formed into an entirely new tone. This tone is not as shrill
as that which the Accordeon • ordinarily produces, and will
be found more agreeable to the musical ear. Besides giving
this new effect, the horn also carries the sound farther and
increases it wonderfully.
