Bohemia, probably made by C.T. Pohl, 1800-1830
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.
They're pretty cheap, but you have to buy one for each and every key! That's how the bastards get you.

겨울방학 끝자락에 초등 평가 전문성 함양 집합연수에 참여했다. 개강식 겸에서 충남교육연수원 연수특색과정으로 감성을 춤추게 하는 하모니카 연주회로 시작했다. 고등학생들이 초등학교 때부터 이택원원장을 만나 하모니카를 배워 세계적인 수준에 올랐다니 대견했다. 선생님의 노고에도 박수를 보낸다...^^
Bought this mini Swan Harmonica necklace from Glebe Market. It works. You can play a full octave on it.
The exposure setting was a mistake but I really like the way it turned out so I changed my mind about deleting it from the camera.
I often meet this old man playing harmonica in the shoping-center of Odense. I'm a bit of a hobby-musician myself, and this guy isn't bad.
"Fast Eddie" Lafferty - the Dundee street harmonica player is the subject of another wee (Busking themed) short documentary film shot in the city of Dundee Scotland. A sweet and friendly man who always appears to be very chilled out and relaxed when chatting. I always love to see characters and buskers like Eddie on our cities/towns' streets, they sure bring a lot of life, character and soul to our high streets.
