- Zanzithophone abstract "The zanzithophone is a name given to an electronic MIDI digital wind controller/synthesizer. It is also proper to refer to it as "Digital Horn" as can be seen printed on the instrument itself. It was produced by Casio in the mid 1980s as the DH-100 (silver) or DH-200 (black). A later model, DH-280, was the same basic instrument with an added "accompaniment module'; this module was carried into the DH-800: a cartridge insert provided four pre-recorded songs: 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.Each model has six built in synthesized sounds; saxophone, trumpet, synth-reed, oboe, clarinet, and flute; the tones produced are audibly more electronic than the tones of the real instruments named. They look like a clarinet/saxophone hybrid. They can be played with recorder fingering over a two-octave range, or with the "Casio system" (similar to standard brass instrument fingering) which allows for up to 4 octaves to be played. A transpose button permits the player to change to any chromatic key over a two-octave range. The DH-280 also had a tuning button. A key near the top of the instrument allows a portamento-like slide between notes. Finally, a switch permitted the instrument to be played without blowing through it, making the keys operate like a digital keyboard.These instruments were breath-sensitive for volume. Unlike other digital wind controllers, the breath actually flows through the instrument, making it feel similar to an acoustic woodwind instrument. Each came with a small built-in speaker, and also had an output cable for external amplification. MIDI OUT capability of the instrument means that it can be used to control sounds from other MIDI synthesizers that offered a MIDI IN connection. These features, and its low price (it was initially marketed as a toy) increased its appeal to budget-minded musicians.Power for the instruments came from five AA batteries, with provision for connecting an aftermarket 7.5 volt AC adaptor.The instruments are prone to developing a squeal. This is because of a capacitor deteriorating; it can be fixed by replacing the capacitor. None of the instruments had a read-out display of any type, so transposing, changing tone, and other functions generally required counting button-clicks.This instrument was most notably used by The Elephant 6 Recording Company based in Athens, Georgia and by Was (Not Was) in live performance of I Feel Better than James Brown".
