from the hare in braking. Harl. The filament of flax. Hare. Har-mon′i-ca. （Music.) 1. a. A musical instrument formed of a number of glasses which are tuned by filling them more or less with water, and are played by touching them with the dampened finger. The less the quantity of water the lower is the tone of the scale. Called musical glasses.) The instrument is said to have been invented by a German, and was improved by Dr. Benjamin Franklin. A stringed form is ascribed to Stein, 1788. b. Dr. Franklin's Harmonica consisted of a nest of hemispherical glasses, of different sizes, tuned, and arranged on a revolving spindle impelled by a treadle, the tips of the fingers being applied to the edges of the glasses to produce the tones. Each glass has an open neck or socket in the middle. The thickness of the glass is about 1/10 inch near the brim, but thicker nearer the aperture, which in the largest glasses is 1 inch deep, with an aperture 1 1/2 inch wide. These d

ann, a mechanism like the clavichord to strike the string at its midlength, by which the harmonic sounds were heard at the same time the whole string was sounded. Stein invented the vis-a-vis, or double harpsichord, which was played by a performer at each end. Burney refers to a transposing harpsichord of 1760: By drawing out the nd preferred the clavichord, which was, as Forkel says in his Life of Bach, poor in tone, but on a small scale extremely flexible. After Silbermann came his pupil Stein, upon whose piano-fortes Mozart so loved to play (1777). Frederici, a fellow-pupil of Stein's, made the first square piano. The farther history of the piano intStein's, made the first square piano. The farther history of the piano introduces the name of Sebastian Erard of Strasburg, who invented the escapement, which effected precision in the stroke of the hammer. He died in 1831. Ignace Pleyel, another noted maker of pianos in Paris, died the same year. Zumpe made large numbers in England, 1766, and following years. The movement invented by Mason, an Engli
