Hornophone

The hornophone is a musical instrument composed of a number of reed bulb horns, typically used as vehicle horns, clamped into a metal frame. The arrangement of the horns is much like a xylophone or glockenspiel, tuned to a heptatonic scale. Ordinarily there is either a higher or lower rack or mounting of horns tuned to sharps and flats, like the black notes of a musical keyboard. The instrument is typically played standing, by squeezing the bulbs of the horns.

Known Performers

The following are known performers of the Hornophone:

Harry Hill.[1][2] Harry played the hornophone during his Harry Hill in Hooves Live tour.

Bill Bailey.[3]

Nutty Noah. Noah has also modified the hornophone with the addition of an equivalent rack of cowbells, played with a drum stick.[4]

gollark: Come to think of it, we could probably put a lot of computing hardware into the solar power stuff, which presumably has a lot of power and some cooling.
gollark: The main constraints for high-performance computer stuff *now* are heat and power, or I guess sometimes networking between nodes.
gollark: Also, for random real-world background, there are only two companies making (high-performance, actually widely used) CPUs: Intel and AMD, and two making GPUs: AMD and Nvidia. Other stuff (flash storage, mainboards, RAM, whatever else) is made by many more manufacturers. Alienware and whatnot basically just buy parts from them, possibly design their own cases (and mainboards for laptops, to some extent), and add margin.
gollark: You could just have them require really powerful nonquantum computers.
gollark: Quantum computing accelerates specific workloads, not just *everything*.
