This is the second time I am seeing a contraption like this. The device in the picture above was sold on eBay without much info to go with it (i.e. "belonged to my grandfather, don't know what it is" or some such). I assume eight keys on this one are equivalent to a major scale.
I saw a similar instrument on shopgoodwill.com previously, except it had thirteen keys, arranged in a vaguely piano-like pattern (i.e. eight "white" keys on one side, five "black" on the other); not much info there, either. The absence of slides is also notable.
I am completely lost as to what this could be and how it is supposed to work... was it made for creatures with eight fingers on one hand and thirteen on the other?
