Aeolian Harp

The Aeolian Harp is an Instrument which is played by the air.

In this example which I repaired, the two halves of the instrument

are placed with the string sides together in a sash window. The draft

is funneled through the instrument causing the strings to vibrate

which produces an unusual synthesizer like sound. Each half of this

instrument has 10 nylon (originally gut) and 2 silver strings.
