<<<<<<<< I don't know what it is, but the dubbed music sounds like a harmonica)
The instrument is called a Pan Flute, but it usually doesn't sound like a harmonica >>>>>>>>>>>
In the Andes Mountains region of Perú, Bolivia and Chile where they are played, the instrument is known as a zampoña. They come in various sizes and pitches and are a staple of "música andina" or Andean music. Check out a group named Los Jaivas, they have 2 albums out on US labels, they combine traditional Andean music with 70's rock and a touch of funk. Simon and Garfunkel scored a major pop hit in the 1970's with their rendition of the Andean standard, "El Condor Pasa"

The routine of performing inside a TV was repeated in I Love Lucy when Lucy attempting to convince Ricky she would be good on the TV show he was hosting decided to put on a show for Ricky and Fred from inside the old-time big 1950's furniture TV. She looked like a hotel bellhop or Western Union delivery person... It was a riot!
"que cosa tiene esta mujer", She got some splainin' to do,

There's also an MGM Tex Avery cartoon from the 50's that's based on the same premise, but it's been so long since I've seen it that I've forgotten the title. A convict is digging a tunnel to escape from prison, but he comes up right under the TV in the Warden's living room! So, he's forced to impersonate all the characters that the Warden thinks he's watching. It's a hilarious cartoon (most of Avery's are), and I wish I could find it somewhere. I've got three DVD's of Avery cartoons, but it's not on any of them.
