The Glass Harmonica was banned in many countries—it was thought the music or just playing it would drive people insane and turn them into homocidal nuts. It was used in the famed Fantasmagoria—in Paris, 1799 that used actors, projected slides and special effects to bring ghosts demons and Satan to life. It became a money making machine— People love to be scared so it seems.
