Cafehorn
musical instrument created by Nicola Gomirato
The Cafehorn is a musical instrument created by classical musician Nicola Gomirato.
Created in July 2006 with the support of the Italian artisans G&P and patented by Nicola Gomirato, it is a strange and unique instrument made of six caffettiera and a brass pipe. It can be played like any other brass instrument since it has a pipe at the end as a mouthpiece.
The Cafehorn can produce warm and charming sounds. Its voice is brilliant like a trumpet and passionate like a French horn.
There is only one cafehorn in the world.
"This is a strange and funny instrument that enchanted hundreds of people when played," said a coffeeshop owner who displayed a Cafehorn in his shop for 15 days in 2007.
