The glass armonica is a musical instrument invented by
Benjamin
Franklin, in which the player runs their moistened fingers along
the
edges of multiple spinning glass domes in order to achieve a
musical
sound. Each piece on the armonica is a different size, and
"tuned"
to
achieve a specific
note when rubbed.
In my ideal kitchen, all the drinking glasses and glass bowls
would
increase in size gradually from the smallest cup to the largest
salad
bowl. Each one would be tuned to a different note of the scale.
When
they were all clean, I could store them all on a rotating spindle
in
order of pitch, and play the "music of the angels", as Franklin
said,
on a
whim every time I go to get a drink.
"...probably advised to steer clear of the guy..."
