Like the little 4 key harmonica<\/a> on the previous page<\/a>, this 8 key version comes from Czechoslovakia. According to the seller however, this 8 key harmonica is nearly double the length of its 4 key cousin. This 8 key horn is 16″ long with a 3 1\/8″ diameter bell.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

I don\u2019t know if this 8 key harmonica was ever intended as a real musical instrument, but it is certainly an interesting saxophone collectible.<\/p>\n

Although the 4 and 8 key harmonicas differ somewhat in their finer details, they have the same brass wind-type mouthpiece. It is possible that these harmonicas were made by same company, but there was a lot of copying of not only real instruments, but also toy instruments like whistles and kazoos, back in the early part of the 20th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
