Let's let Richard's questions be M,N,O, and P.

Then O looks to me like a modern version of a Vicentino keyboard (31 or 43 notes to the octave)

I think one ought to defer to Autoharp in tenor/baritone horn-related matters. Otherwise there might be trouble.

Seconded.  Looks like a peck horn to me too (named after the offbeats)

Sorry to be pedantic, but what we Brits know as a tenor horn = alto saxhorn.

Richard's last one looks like a kithara to me.

The first one looks like an abomination.

The last one is indeed Kithara II, built by Harry Partch in 1954. Here's a nice page about Partch's instruments:

Indeed so - which, by extension, means I was wrong !

He did say 'sublime' so that rules out the Moog.

T is definitely a Hurdy Gurdy

R may well be a Viola d-Amore ('cos of all the sympathetic strings), but I always get this mixed up with a Viola di Bracchio.

Still three of mine left...

Here's a slightly less silly version of the first one


Here are a few more of the second one


And here's an older relative of the third one
