Are you looking for a Casio DH-100? I currently have several horns for sale. click here for details. I have serviced all of these horns to permanently eliminate the squeal problem and to assure that they are in excellent working condition. email me at

The Casio DH-100 and 200 were sold in the U.S. in the mid 1980's. You can usually find one for sale on ebay.com almost any time.While they did not seem to catch on with the general public, those who like them like them a lot.

The Casio DH-200 is identical to the DH-100 except it is black instead of silver.

Here are some of the sounds that the horn can make with its built-in synthesizer

bari-sax.mp3 (112K)
trumpet.mp3 (44K)
clarinet.mp3 (50K)
flute.mp3 (66K)
oboe.mp3 (47K)

These Casio horns suffer from a common failure mode. Theyalmost all seem to eventually develop a high pitched squeal thatrenders the built-in sounds useless. Fortunately, they can be repaired. If you are thinking aboutbuying one on ebay or elsewhere, be sure to have the sellerverify that it is still working.

The DH-100 lets you choose from any of 6 horn sounds,including saxophone, trumpet, synth-reed, oboe, clarinet andflute.

Features: (from www.tedkeys.com)

Built-In Speaker
Portament Effect: An effect that creates a 'gliding' effect, for natural, 'horn-like' transition between notes.
2-Octave Key Transpose: Each time you press the transpose key, the horn will transpose up one half-step. You can use this key to raise or lower the key up to one octave.
Breath Modes: Turn the breath mode ON and you blow just like a normal horn, but turn it OFF and sounds can be produced just by fingering the note keys.
Built-in Vibrato Some people love the built-in vibrato. Others who already have a well developed breath vibrato find it irritating.
Two-way Fingering: You may choose between two different fingering patterns. One is similar to a recorder,and ranges 2.5 octaves. The other is the Casio system that ranges 4 octaves;
MIDI Output: The DH-100 is equipped with the Musical Intrument Digital Interface (MIDI), that gives the DH-100 control of other MIDI instruments or sound sources. For example, connect the DH-100 to a digital synthesizer and virtually limitless digital sounds are at your control. Note that the horn outputs breath control as MIDI aftertouch messages. You must use a synthesizer that can be set to respond to aftertouch messages in order to make this horn work right with MIDI.
Output Jack: Use the output jack for headphones or play through a sound system or your home stereo
POWER: Uses 5 AA batteries or AC Adapter rated 7.5V / 600mA Don't try to use a higher voltage adaptor, because it can fry the internals. And the voltage regulator used in this horn is not manufactured anymore, so if you plug in too high a voltage, you can sell the horn to me for spare parts. You can use a universal AC adaptor as long as it is rated 600mA or more. 300ma rated adaptors will work, but you might hear some AC hum at high volume. The horn is protected against reverse polarity.
