Zanzithophone is a name given to an electronic
MIDI digital wind controller/
synthesizer musical instrument in a book by Kim Cooper called 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'. The Zanzithophone can also be referred to as a "Digital Horn." This instrument was produced by
Casio in the mid 1980s, presented as either the
DH-100 (silver) or
DH-200 (black). A later model,
DH-280, was the same instrument with an added "accompaniment module.' This module was carried into the
DH-800: a cartridge insert provided four pre-recorded songs. These songs consisted of
When the Saints go Marching In,
Air on the (sic) G String,
Chopin's Nocturne, and
I Lost the DOH in my Clarinet, each of which could be played with or without melody. The module also provided sixteen standard rhythms.
