 * February 11 &#8226; The Muppaphone is a musical instrument made up of pink and orange balls of fluff. These creatures, members of an as yet unnamed species, are played by Marvin Suggs, who strikes them with mallets in order to elicit the cries of pain that form the Muppaphone's music.  Each creature is tuned to make a single note, like a xylophone.  Marvin Suggs and the Muppaphone first appear in The Muppet Show episode 105, playing "Lady of Spain."
