Subject: Help! Need info on The Hooters!!!
I am looking for any information on The Hooters. They are my favorite band. Does anyone know the name of the special instrument they were known for? I used to know, but have forgotten. I welcome anyone to contact me who is also a fan. Thanks!

The "proper" name of a hooter is a melodica. Basically a wind driven keyboard along the lines of an accordion minus the bellows. You blow in the end mouthpiece and operate the keys just like a standard set of keys. Peace brothers and sisters!
