I have one of those Casio horns, and it's fun. Sometimes
(like late at night) it helps to have a woodwind-like instrument
you can play through headphones. I picked mine up for about $49,
I suppose after Casio decided not to continue that product line.

They seemed to disappear from the market a few years
ago, but I noticed an ad in the back of the latest
"Keyboard" magazine offering them for sale. I guess
someone picked a bunch of surplus stock. I forget the
current price, but I'm pretty sure it was under $100.
