Crafted from glass with intricate engravings, this American antique represents a groundbreaking invention that revolutionized the world of music. The armonica, also known as the glass harmonica or glass armonica, features a series of rotating glass bowls or goblets that produce ethereal sounds when touched by moistened fingers.
