OK.
The Trautonium was developed by the electrical engineer Dr Freidrich Adolf
Trautwein (b Würzburg 1888, Germany; d Düsseldorf 1956) and first exhibited
in Germany in 1930. The domestic version of the Trautonium was manufactured
and marketed by Telefunken between 1932 and 1935. A number of composers
wrote works for the instrument including Paul Hindemith who learnt to play
the Trautonium and produced a 'Concertina for Trautonium and Orchestra' as
well as Höffer, Genzmer, Julius Weismann and most notably Oskar Sala who
became a virtuoso on the machine and eventually took over the development of
the Trautonium producing his own variations- the 'Mixtur-Trautonium', The
'Concert-Trautonium' and the 'Radio - Trautonium'
