This harmonica is very cool. I am amazed at all the things it can do! I find kind of werid that a harmonica can cause people to have symptoms. I enjoyed reading this article.

I actually read something about this in a 7th grade assesment, turns out it lost popularity in bigger theaters.

This is so awesome! I was always fascinated by the whole wine glass finger tip music but the glass ARMONICA (not harmonica) just blew me away. Like Heather, I found it even more interesting that it caused illnesses. I just find it funny that a instrument could do that.
Ben Franklin is a pure genius!
And don’t even get me started with how it sounds! Talk about heaven at your fingertips!
Get it?
Fingertips?
I’m so funny.(:

I honestly did not know there were ever glass harmonicas. Ben Franklin invented so much! I found it really interesting how the noise of the harmonica was used to hypnotize ill patients into a deeper trance. I also found it interesting how people who were just playing the harmonica had weird symptoms.
