replied to your post “Cheer Up Post #5538 – Weird Musical Instruments Edition”I love the glass harmonium: a friend of my father had and played one, the sound is wonderfully ethereal and irritating at the same time.
It’s the musical equivalent of having angels follow you everywhere you go, asking “Are we there yet?”It’s a pretty sublime instrument. That’s actually how I remembered that it was the product of Ben Franklin’s fevered imagination – the first time I heard one I was in the Ben Franklin museum in Philadelphia and it was a lovely but DEEPLY out of place sound to hear in that space.
