My father had one for many years. Don't know what happened to it, bur he 
did record using it in the 20's with several of the Gene Golkette units 
in Detroit. Odd ball looking, but it did prodicea very driected sound, 
whihc inthe days of pre-electrict recording, was needed to get the 
fiffle recordings.
The most easily recorded instrument for true tone was the trombone, for 
some reason -- pre or post electric.
