Benjamin Franklin's Glass Harmonica
By Bill Chapman

If you are referring the instrument of rotating glass disks that are
played with fingers wetted with water and vinegar, it was called the
Glass Harmonica on one record I bought.  However, I came across a piece
of music that referred to it by still another name -- one that I should
be able to recall, but can't.  I'll work on it.

Yes, you are well advised not to translate it as "Benjamin Franklin's
Organ!"
