It sounds like licking plums would sound like.

They open up the hood at about the 9 minute mark to reveal the guts of this puppy. It’s a fascinating contraption to listen to and see.

Odd sounding but not irritating.
The most recent episode of Sleepy Hollow shows a glass armonica being played. Now those thing should be outlawed.

How about that.
The sound it generates is more like.......a violin. Maybe Cello. Yet, it looks like a piano. Not sharp and loud like the Pianer. More mellow and soft like a known stringed instrument.
Can’t say I like it. Just........different.

Similar to a popular Medieval instrument, the hurdy-gurdy, which also used a rotating wheel on the strings.

If it had a way to create vibrato, it would sound better.

Is there any sheet music form DaVinci’s time around?
It would be even more interesting to hear it playing period music from 500 years ago.
