Klaxophone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Klaxophone is an instrument created by the American composer Henry Fillmore. Made up of twelve car horns, it was created for use in his Klaxon March (or March of the Automobiles)[1] which was composed in 1929 for the Cincinnati Automobile Show. This piece featured the instrument mounted on a table and powered by a car battery.[2]
