Chafe, In this little series we might get into discussion about instruments having several names..... but I'm pretty sure that out of those four you have only correctly identified D. Theremin  |

 A tenor horn from Yamaha:  A mandolin banjo from the mandolin web  Melodica was a wild guess.

Chafe, Looks like the same Yamaha picture, but the name I clipped off the 'horn' photo suggests it is smaller than a tenor. The tenor is in B flat or C while the smaller one I chose is in E flat or F, and not just 'horn'..... Your mandolin banjo looks similar but note that it has eight strings while B has just 4 The old photo is like a melodica except the melodica has piano-type keys. The old photo is from about 1910 and maybe that style of keyed harmonica was short-lived but it did have a particlar name (which included the famous manufacturer's name). John W |

The picture looks more like a baritone to me. Er, tenor horns are in Eb + baritones in Bb . . . |

I think one ought to defer to Autoharp in tenor/baritone horn-related matters. Otherwise there might be trouble.
The banjo-like object in the first set is a banjolele, isn't it?
In the second set, the first picture shows a violin, a couple of harpguitars and a mandolin. The last one must be a carillon. The second one looks like it might be an electric cello of some kind I'm not familiar with, and the third is some kind of wind-activated instrument by the look of it. That protomelodica is a mystery to me though.

Well done Richard:
B. Banjolele is correct !
E. Harp guitar is correct. Mr Knutsen on the left.
H. Carillon is correct. For a bonus point, Where is that carillon?
And for G. yes it's a windharp!
F. is a cello with a prefix (clue in previous set....)
For the melodica thingy think small instrument by a famous German (Wurttemberg) company....
The horn is smaller than tenor so it's an .... and it's a ***horn where *** is a famed instrument inventor......

A must be a saxhorn then, though I wondered whether it was a althorn. There was much discussion elsewhere to the effect that a tenor horn was the same as a euphonium and A doesn't look like a euphonium.

Oh, it must be a Theremin cello then (I was a bit foxed by the lack of strings but now it makes perfect sense). I'd read about them but never seen a picture of one before.

rich, tommo,
J. is a tenor sarusophone.
I. claims to be a contrabass oboe.
L is a santir, or santur (or santoor) from Persia or Iran.
K. is a type of cello..... the bow is missing
so just rich's thingys now and the melodica thingy - think small instrument by a famous German (Wurttemberg) company....
