    Actually the glass armonica was invented by Franklin to make playing of the glasses easier. Before it was only wine glasses filled with water, which was very difficult to play. Robert Tiso right here on RUclips does an excellent job, who I enjoy greatly, even if he re-records over himself. I have myself been repairing antique music boxes for years which sort of has a similar sound, and have enjoyed carillons very much and am still very much alive, so I don't think the arminica is really a deadly instrument. If anything it is very peaceful and relaxing.

    Franklin shared a house in London with William Hewson, a young physician who gave informal anatomy lessons at home. Dissecting human bodies was not allowed legally, so Hewson would have obtained bodies by hiring “resurrection men” (grave robbers), who would smuggle corpses from the cemetery or snatch them right off the gallows. When Hewson was done with them, he simply buried his nine adults and six children in the cellar. Ben probably didn't take part in all this, but he surely knew about it. I've always imagined that his job was keeping a look-out for spectators while the anatomy gang brought the bodies to the house and lugged them upstairs.
    p.s. There's a busker in a suburb of Washington D.C. who sometimes plays musical glasses on the main drag. That's actual glasses, not a Glass Armonica (Franklin's name for his instrument).

    There is a tv show called Secrets of the Dead that talked about bones found in one of Franklins houses. One of the people who lived with him was believed to be studying anatomy. So it was likely the human bones were from corpses that were being dissected. Can't have the police knowing what you are doing with human remains so they were hidden in the house.
    Think about how long it would take to get good at it and the number of hours to practice to be basic level.

    The Hydrodaktulopsychicharmonica (thanks BlueCometDude) might have caused miniature seizures due to harmonics and frequencies associated with the natural "inner frequency" of human beings. A lot like you can break glass at specific frequencies you might break blood vessels.

    *If you'd like an example of how haunting it sounds in the form of a song you've likely heard before, RUclips **_Aquarium_** from **_Carnival of the Animals._*
    It's literally one of my favorite classical pieces. The sounds conjure mental images of fish darting around as well as delicately floating along the sea floor. It's incredible, making it all the more stunning that its composer, Camille Saint-Saëns, thought the whole suite would be a flop.
