THIS "WEIRD" LOOKING THING WITH THE TYPEWRITER KEYS, IS CALLED AN "INDIAN BENJU" (BANJO), ALSO CALLED "BULBUL TARANG", & THE GERMAN WORD FOR IT IS "AKKORDOLIA". THIS INSTRUMENT USED TO BE V.E.R.Y POPULAR, ESPECIALLY AROUND ABOUT THE 1910´s TO & ABOUT THE 1930´s. ITS SIMILAR TO THE SCHEITHOLTZ & THE DULCIMER BUT NOT THE SAME.
I GOT ONE OF THE AKKORDOLIA TYPE MADE IN GERMANY. MADE BY OTTO TELLER & GLASS PROBABLY
AROUND THE 20´s.
