Fun but can be a bit unwieldy

fun little noise maker. I have always collected bits and bobs like this guy. Doesn't see regular use but this sorta thing is super inspiring when you're in a rut. It's like a little idea maker...and a pain to tune...but fun to tune weirdly. You get the idea.

This article details Manzarek's use of the Marxophone on "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)."

“I’d never even heard of it,” Manzarek admitted in The Doors’ episode of Classic Albums. “Paul Rothchild said, ‘Let’s get the marxophone’ and I said, ‘What the hell is that, man?’ He said, ‘It’s a hammer zither!’ because, being a folky out of New York City, they knew about all that sort of thing. It worked out perfectly, that jingle-jangly sound. It was perfect for the whisky bar.”
