Beautiful sounding instrument! Once again, Leonardo da Vinci was both a genius and WAY ahead of his time.

Hope this catches on - even though it’s nearly six centuries since it was designed.

If da Vinci were around today, we’d have landed men on Neptune by now.

I loved the sound his instrument made. It is haunting.

Leonarda was a genius on a par with Einstein, Mendeleev, Bohr, and Mendel. He was a painter without equal.
He was an Engineer. He had worked out the basics of flight.
He also designed weapons of war and they were very effective.

One must think if he were alive today with our access to unlimited data and ideas via a computer, what could that great mind do?
