The zanzithophone is an electronic MIDI saxophone, formerly produced by Casio as the Casio DH-100 or DH-200. It produces a piercing, unearthly nasal tone. This instrument is most notably used by the Elephant 6 recording company out of Athens, GA. It looks like a white-ish clarinet/saxophone hybrid, and can be played as such. Alternatively, it can be played with the "Casio system" which alters the fingering and allows for up to 4 octaves to be played. The instruments are prone to developing a squeal. This is because of a capacitor deteriorating and can be fixed by replacing the capacitor.
