Among the unbelievable things that were exhibited in the great 'Believe It Or Not' show, conducted by the cartoonist Robert Ripley at the Century of Progress exposition at Chicago in 1933, was the marvellous Nelson's musical instrument, that made it possible for one man to play a 32-piece band alone.

The story of this invention is the story of one man. He is Albert Nelson, who has invented the only instrument of its kind in all the world. The Nelson's band is not only the result of his musical ability but of his inventive genius as well. Many years of experiment have been spent together with a lot of practice to produce such a creation.
