Behold, the playasax, a beautiful and strange musical toy from the beginning of last century.  The Musical Box Society has a recording of what these strange instruments sound like.  I have to admit, for something as strange and fantastic as the Playasax looks to be, I’m kind of bummed that it just sounds like a harmonica.  If you, like me, have an affinity for strange and unique instruments, then check out the Rosenberg Library Museum post on these instruments.
