Under the categories of:\u00a0strange and\u00a0rare musical instruments, saxophone-shaped musical instruments, and saxophone-shaped children’s toys, here’s a test that measures your brain’s ability to filter out the real from the\u00a0fake<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are 2 pairs of photos. See if you can figure out which one of these is a real musical instrument, and which is child’s toy.<\/p>\n

Well, what do you think? For Set 1<\/strong> if you said Photo 1<\/a> was a real instrument, you would be correct. It is a J. Keilwerth Toneking 3000 Jazzophone. According to the instrument’s inventor, Gerhard Keilwerth, no more than 100 of these horns were made. They were manufactured between 1982-86.<\/p>\n

Photo 2<\/a> however, is of a vintage toy stamped Camp Saxo France. It is currently on eBay<\/a>. The auction ends on September 13, so if you are interested, you best hurry.<\/p>\n

For Set 2<\/strong> if you believed that Photo 4<\/a> was the real instrument, you would be correct. It is a rotary valved trumpet that is most likely German in origin.<\/p>\n

Photo 3<\/a> on the other hand, is a solid brass toy that measures 10.5″ in length. It was made by the Delinot company in France. This little vintage toy is also currently on eBay<\/a>, and its auction is running until September 17. It is being offered together with a toy trombone, which is also in minty condition.<\/p>\n
