Sugar Plum Fairy on the Glass Armonica

A friend of DIT who enjoyed the recent posting of the sound and music of the Glass Harp found this link to a Glass Armonica.  

It sounds similar to the Glass Harp but, as you can see in the picture, it definitely has a very different 'look'.

So what is an Armonica? 

The Glass Armonica is a musical instrument which was Invented by Benjamin Franklin. It has a beautiful and distinctive sound.

To hear it in action, our friend sent a link to a video which is about 2 minutes 30 seconds in length.  HERE'S THE LINK

You can read about this interesting musical instrument at Wikipedia.  HERE'S THE LINK
