I haven't seen (heard) one for years now; can't remember the last time in fact.

>Well before the astonishing success of the Rabbit, Riki was on the hunt for new products. Her T42 kettle was born during a 1980’s cocktail party conversation in Manhattan. Riki was always trying to create new products to sell, and had this idea for a teakettle playing a nice tune when water came to a boil. Riki related this idea to a woman who claimed her son-in-law was a mechanical genius who could create such a kettle. And he did!
>A few months later, Riki received a long tube that contained blueprints and schematics showing the design for a teakettle that plays Irving Caesar’s 1925 hit “Tea for Two” using steam power. The man who created this as nothing more than a challenge is Charles Hutter, founder of the Aeronautical engineering company Click Bond.
>Charles and Colleen Hutter, and Riki and Bob Larimer, together made a trip to Japan to prospect some manufacturers. While on the train, Rikki recalls Charles said, “We may as well make it beautiful.” Charles designed the kettle to be made from a billet of stainless steel, with a minimum of seams and a smoothly curved shape. The ingenious tune-playing steam-driven mechanism was made in the USA, with the kettle body produced in Japan, then Korea, and finally in China. All producers eventually found it too challenging to produce the kettle design at a competitive price; the designer’s insistence on the kettle’s form required many time-consuming and costly manufacturing operations. Nevertheless, a large production run was manufactured and marketed. [...]
