http://www.discogs.com/release/208990 classifies Hortons folgerphone as woodwind, so I'm gonna assume it's the same one afterall. Restepc (talk) 15:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nutt's Folgerphone is pictured in "The Fine Art of the Tin Can," by Bobby Hansson, Lark Books, 1996, p.102. and in a 2004 Revised editon, p. 102. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegfurn (talk • contribs) 16:48, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
