What is an Ondes Martenot?

We hope you don't use Google in order to answer the questions but this one was really difficult. Some people may know the device as an electrophone. This electronic musical instrument was invented at the beginning of the twentieth century. Originally it consists of a keyboard and a slide. Nevertheless, this musical instrument is rarely used and even professional musicians sometimes confess that they have never heard about such a device.

A little obscure, but I could guess. Why look up the answer? I can guess using logic and the next best is to choose the first answer if you can't decide. Remarkable how many times the first is correct.

Don’t do cheating no point in doing a quiz if you look up the answers first.

This was just an intelligent guess though the name Martenot seems to have some connection with music like Clarinet. I dont use google for answering. I test myself.
