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.

Pretty Lights used a Marxophone on the album "A Color Map of the Sun," as shown in the album credits.
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.”
At 2:09 in the Making Of Lifeline (Heapsong1) video, you can see a Marxophone in Imogen Heap's studio The Hideaway.
"In the studio, I’m open to all things that make people smile ... everything from an old Marxophone to a Stylophone I bought from Urban Outfitters, but mostly organs and pianos of various vintage."
In a Facebook post, Kid606 is shown with a Marxophone, highlighting its use in their music setup.
