piganino
The Piganino, a portmanteau of ''pig'' and piano, is a fictitious musical instrument using pigs as to produce sound. Satirical use includes further portmanteaus as in German ''Schweineorgel'' (pig organ) and "Hog Harmonium", "Swineway" or "Porko Forte" in English. == Background == Louis XI of France was said to have challenged Abbé de Baigne to develop such an instrument, believing that it was impossible to do so.〔 Jean Bouchet: ''Les annales d’Aquitaine.'' Enguilbert de Marnef, Poitiers 1557, Blatt 164. ((Scan) ). Cited in Pierre Bayle: ''Dictionnaire historique et critique''. ((Scan) )〕 The Abbé, a well known constructor, anecdotally accepted the order against payment. The instrument was a variant of an organ using a keyboard to pick the pigs, which were sorted sizewise.〔
