thumb The folgerphone (sometimes Folgerphone) is a wind instrument (or aerophone), classifiable as a woodwind rather than brass instrument despite being made of metal, because it has a reed (cf. saxophone). It is a modern experimental instrument, using an alto sax mouthpiece, with copper tubing and a coffee can (the name is a reference to Folger's, a common brand of canned coffee). It is not commercially produced, but constructed by musicians, and need not use a genuine coffee can, but any metallic sounding box. Although using sax parts, it is a cylindrical bore instrument, and thus part of the clarinet family. == History == The instrument was invented by Nolan Hatcher and Craig Nutt,〔http://www.fusetronsound.com/label.php?selection=S〕 at least as early as 1979, when it was used on their duet album ''Dinosaur Time''.〔http://www.craignutt.com/raudelunas/sayday.html〕 It has also been used in recorded experimental and jazz works by others, such as Robert Horton's band Plateau (not to be confused with the Skinny Puppy side-project platEAU), as on the 1990 ''Arrhythmia'' compilation CD. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Folgerphone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
