The glass armonica, a musical instrument invented by Benjamin Franklin, is mostly a curiosity today and is not widely played. I believe some music was written for it. It is based on the concept of generating a tone by moving a damp material around the rim of a glass. The ubiquitous harmonica continues to be a popular instrument that can be surprisingly beautiful and effective in the hands of a virtuoso.
