For instance a real playable tiny grand piano or a giant accordian. If the size of an instrument is important to you, you might be interested to put something that is 36 inches to your mouth. If that’s not enough for you this one is 41 inches and requires two people to blow it. Still want more? Here’s a horn that needs 6 midgets to blow it.

Recently, at a convention in the South, six midget men were necessary to handle the instrument: one at the mouth-piece, another at the keys, and four to support it. This huge band piece was made in Paris and brought to this country about 75 years ago.
