Clariophone
Attributed to Gebr. Ludwig (?)
A late version of the psallmelodicon, which in 1828 was invented by Johannes Weinrich, a poet and shoemaker living in Heiligenstadt, Germany. Weinrich attempted to make the psallmelodicon an orchestral instrument by endowing it with the chromatic range of the oboe. Instead, it went out of use but re-emerged as a children's instrument toward the end of the nineteenth century.
