Paragraph Development: 300  American scientist Benjamin Franklin invented the glass harmonica, also known as the Franklin harmonica, in the early 1760s.

In the Franklin model, shallow glass basins are attached to a horizontal spindle that is revolved by a crank attached to a pedal. The spindle is placed in a trough of water so that the glasses are kept wet. The shimmering, bell-like sound is produced by touching the fingers to the wet edges. This instrument was popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries
