What is this?

Post by TimLawson »

There are two of these on eBay at the moment. Can someone tell me what this is, where it's from, and/or if it's "real"?

I would imagine that the valves control airflow to different tubes and/or combination of tubes and each plays on a specific overtone series, but I have never seen anything like this. I thought maybe it's a prop from "Seussical the Musical"

It's called a schalmei and they seem to be popular in the former East Germany.
