From the personal collection of Vivian Stanshall, founding member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, an improvised 'tube trumpet, an iconic stage prop, with a plastic blue funnel at one end of a coiled tube, a brass instrument mouthpiece at the other, as used by Vivian on many occasions, where he used to swing it around his head during live performances. Believed by the family to be the last remaining example.

This lot, along with all others in the sale, has been consigned for sale by Vivian's son, Rupert. Please see the following article on our website for further background.
