A fact from Aluphone appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 May 2018 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that metal cones, designed to protect the tops of wooden posts, inspired the creation of a new musical instrument called the Aluphone? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2018/May. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aluphone.

This looks like it would be a great reference, but it is behind a paywall. If anyone wants to bite the bullet and create an account, and add relevant content to the article, the world would forever be at your debt. -- kewlgrapes ( talk, contribs) 08:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC) reply

I've added the reference to the reflist. Commented out for now. -- kewlgrapes ( talk, contribs) 08:58, 9 May 2018 (UTC) reply

I was impatient, so I went ahead and created an account. There wasn't a whole lot in the article, but it mentioned the Aluphone multiple times. It should help establish notability, at least. -- kewlgrapes ( talk, contribs) 04:27, 10 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Aluphone is usually capitalized when written, but not always - notably on the official website of the makers/sellers of the Aluphone. So, I've capitalized all instances of Aluphone in the article. Just wanted to point that out in case people want to discuss/contest it. -- kewlgrapes ( talk, contribs) 19:49, 9 May 2018 (UTC) reply

I was about to add an infobox, but it doesn't seem very useful without a picture. Here's what I had filled in so far.
