Hello, in my note yesterday I misquoted the serial number of this
Heckelphone. The correct number is 3985, not 3465. In an instrument
that is made in such quantity as a Heckelphone, this may represent a 50
year difference!

The Heckelphone I am looking at has a range to low A, automatic octaves,
and fingers like a German oboe, ie, like a Saxophone on top and like an
oboe on the bottom. The keywork is very "Bahaus" in design, and the
case looks like it is from the 1930s. Many of the keys, curiously,
instead of being plateaus are instead open semicircles with tiny buttons
in the center.
