This special harmonica had it's own case and was
used on two tracks. It was modelled after old harmonicas
from way back. The "horns" were to amplify the sound
and each horn was for two holes on the harp.
Looked like a christmas door knocker.

Wealthy families enjoyed the gentle music of glass instruments at recitals during the 18th and 19th centuries. Not to be outdone, Corning Museum of Glass allows you to experience the recording of the music of a Glass Harmonica, like this one.
The sound of this harmonica was determined by the sizes of the glasses. In 1762, Benjamin Franklin improved the process of making music by rubbing the moistened rims of glasses. He attached perfectly tuned glass bowls to a horizontal spindle, which was set in motion by the foot. The instrument, attracted the interest of many composers, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Richard Strauss.
