How about from an electric organ?  Like a Hammond...this part makes noise when you press a key?

Getting closer, but not Hammond.

Something to do with amplification?

The only other organ I know of is the Mighty Wurlitzer.  Went to this restaurant once called the Music Palace, that featured this organ.  This guy played everything from Johnny Cash to Hawaii Five-O theme music on this.  Amazing!

Sadly, it's a China Buffet now with a gigantic koi pond.

Still swimming around the pond. Dive in and be specific about what it is.

It almost looks like an old resonator, with the business end covered by the cardboard-type paper.

The part of an organ that blows air through the pipes?

Please be more specific. You're close.

is it like a regulator valve of sorts?

its an organ magnet!

why, pray tell, do you have an organ magnet lying around your house?

OK. There would be one per pipe or percussion note (marimba, xylophone) or effect (gong, cow bell) A vary large organ can have thousands of these.

My entry way in my house

So, it's some part of an Organ and I'm supposed to have heard Thousands of them?

My uncle had a small electric organ. He used to play "I walk the line" whenever we visited - which was rare. I have sometimes heard a large pipe organ in Movies but don't know if that's real or not. So I can say, I've not heard Thousands of these things.

now to find some random item that no one would ever guess...damn, I really only have normal people stuff around my house. Give me a little bit.

Adidas, you are quite the eccentric character, ya know?

Beautiful organ, by the way

In pipe organs. One per pipe. Hit a full chord with lots of stops on and a hundred or more pipes would play - with one chest magnet per pipe. A rank of pipes (61, 73, 95 or 107) would be that many magnets. A 20 rank organ could have over 2000 of them.

This is a very obvious one if you participate in the hobby...sorry for the blurriness

Cricket cage?
Bee nesting thingy?
Or a fancy thingy?
Or a home made thingy?
Or just a thingy?

On the right track with one of those guesses...
