This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.

New Humanatone ads

I found new Humanatone advertisements and will add them to the relative post.

The first one was published in the 1908 J. W. Jenkins' Sons Music Co (still in the Jenkins catalog in 1929) :


The second one in the 1928 Johnson Smith catalog, with a 2.5 times decreased price :


The third one comes from the 1931 Chicago Musical Instrument catalog (back to a 2.5 increased price per dozen, after 1929 crash) :
