When I first saw this Hohner Electronic Saxophone, I thought: Wow, this would have been fun when I was a kid. Sadly, for musical toys I had a Hohner Clarina, but I digress…
I had not been able to find out anything about this electronic toy saxophone from Hohner. The seller offered up no information, and Google hadn’t brought up anything either. The only thing I knew for certain is that it was part of the Play & Learn series–just like the Hohner Kinder Saxophon was.
However, as I took a closer look at the printing on the box, I noted that it showed a copyright of 1993, by Mei Fong Toy Co. Ltd. Taiwan. Additionally, it also included the Hohner product number 97.926.
Googling Mei Fong Toy Co. Ltd Taiwan didn’t bring up a lot, but it did help a little. In addition to a couple of patents, I did find this company profile on allproducts.com:
