Untitled. Glass harmonica. Spinning glass disks (bowls) on a common shaft are arranged with the lower notes (larger disks) to the left and higher notes (smaller disks) to the right. Because its sounding portion is made of glass, the glass harmonica is a crystallophone. The phenomenon of rubbing a wet finger around the rim of a wine goblet to produce tones is documented back to Renaissance times; Galileo considered the phenomenon (in his Two New Sciences), as did Athanasius Kircher.

Loader manual. Unusual Instruments' Music Videos. Gloomy Sunday - Overture To Death. D. P. MacDonald In February of 1936, Budapest Police were investigating the suicide of a local shoemaker, Joseph Keller. The investigation showed that Keller had left a suicide note in which he quoted the lyrics of a recent popular song. The song was "Gloomy Sunday". The fact that a man chose to quote the lyrics of a little-known song may not seem very strange. Following the event described above, seventeen additional people took their own lives. Among those included are two people who shot themselves while listening to a gypsy band playing the tune.
The adverse effect of "Gloomy Sunday" was becoming so great that the Budapest Police thought it best to ban the song. In New York, a pretty typist gassed herself leaving a request that "Gloomy Sunday" should be played at her funeral. Many claim that broken romances are the true causes of these suicides. As the death toll climbed, the B.B.C. felt it necesssary to suppress the song, and the U.S. network quickly followed suit. Search Results: Musipedia Melody Search Engine.
