This amazing five horn harmonica is called the 'Hohner Trumpet Call Harmonica' and is a wonderful, hand-crafted luxury instrument made by Hammacher Schlemmer as a special 100th anniversary product.
It has to be the coolest instrument I have ever seen, along with the miniature harmonica necklace and key-ring accessories which you can actually play. How is that for a mobile musical instrument?
The cool, but odd-looking, horn harmonica is tuned in the C-major key and also features 40 reeds, 5 brass bells and a maple pearwood comb. Needless to say, this instrument doesn’t sound like the normal harmonica, it makes a vibrato sound as the air flies through the bells.
