Glass Harmonica- (Armonica)- video included






Benjamin Franklin invented a radically new arrangement of glasses in 1761 after seeing water-filled wine glasses played by William Deleval. He called in the "armonica" after the Italian word harmony, worked with London glassblower Charles james to build one, and the first performance was in 1762 played by Marianne Davies.
