The Claviola is a musical instrument that was designed in the 1960s by Hohner technician and designer Ernst Zacharias (inventor of the Pianet and Clavinet) and finally put to production for a brief period in the 1990s. The Claviola was discontinued just a few months later.

Similar to a melodica, but worn like an accordion, the claviola has a set of piano keys on the right side that range 2 1/2 octaves. The left side is a set of pipes that range in length depending on the corresponding pitch. Best know for its use of the Hohner Claviola, is the band One Ring Zero.
