The instrument has a number of glass bowls of different sizes attached to a horizontal axis. As the axis rotates, the musician touches the glass bowls with wet fingers.
Benjamin Franklin is credited as the inventor of the glass harmonica.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Georg Friedrich Händel, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Strauss, and more than 100 other composers composed works for the glass harmonica; some pieces survived in the repertoire in transcriptions for more conventional instruments.
Unfortunately, this picture is a little blurry.

I have seen this species a few times but this one posed so well for me. As is often the case our WA subspecies is different.
We met on Michigan Avenue near the Art Institute of Chicago.
He was walking down the sidewalk playing a harmonica.
Soulful blues evaporating into the spring air as the sun was going down.
After I'd popped off a few frames we started talking there.
He was headed to play that night at Buddy Guy's Blues and Legends.
This guy had some powerful notes and a very strong presence.
The man had an intense energy and an effervescent charisma.
It all came from a radiant soul.

"I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window."- unknown
These colourful art deco harmonicas are one of my favourite collectibles. The colour combinations are sometimes beautiful and sometimes just plain ugly, but they do catch your attention.

I was intrigued by this little guy playing his harmonica on Main Street in Mendocino. He sat all alone with no guardian nearby, his little red hat on the ground beside him. I was surprised when I gave him some money that there was no money in his hat. I listened to him for about 15 minutes and watched as people, shoppers, tourists passed him by. No one stopped to listen and no one gave him any money. I don't know what his story was, but as people passed by he kept playing songs like "Old Susanah", simple tunes, but he played them with all his heart.

She was at a performance I photographed today. She was back-up for the lead person, and she was good! I'd love to hear her play lead.
Today's project 365 picture is of my grandfather's Hohner Suprt Chromatic Harmonica in the Key of C. This harmonica is probably over 90 years old, and they are still making them with little, if any differences.
After a hard night's work playing the harmonica at the blues bar in San Francisco, the best way to cool off after was a cherry popsicle.
