Saxophone Combined With Organ (Jan, 1936)
Saxophone Combined With Organ
TONE modulation such as only the most accomplished wind instrument artist can achieve can now be duplicated by a beginner as a result of a new instrument called the solfia now being manufactured in Germany.

An air chamber within the device modulates the tone and adds resonance.
