Invented by Benjamin Franklin about
1761, the armonica consists of a set of
graduated glass bowls mounted concen-
tricall on an axle and rotated by means
of a foot pedal and flywheel. When the
player lightly touches the moving glass
rims with moistened fingers, the instru-
ment produces an unusual, ethereal tone.
Mozart and Beethoven wrote pieces for
this instrument, which was briefly in
vogue in both Europe and America.
