Aeolian harp
An instrument consisting of an open box over which are stretched strings that sound when the wind passes over them. Also called wind harp. Stringed instrument played by the wind (named for the wind god Aeolus). It is usually a long, narrow, shallow box with soundholes and 10 or 12 strings strung lengthwise between two bridges. The strings are of the same length but different thicknesses and are all tuned to the same pitch; the wind makes them vibrate in successively higher harmonics. The harp may be hung, or set horizontally under a window sash. The first known Aeolian harp was constructed 1650 by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680)

aeolian harp
{ee-oh'-lee-uhn} The aeolian harp is a shallow box zither about 1-1 5 m (3-5 ft) long, strung with multiple strings of the same length but of different thicknesses and tuned in unison The harp is suspended where the wind will set the strings in motion; the wind force and the different diameters of the strings cause the eddies of air immediately downwind to vary considerably, which in turn causes variations in tone Thus, the harp produces strange, ghostly sequences of harmonies, swelling and diminishing with the strength of the wind Named for AEOLUS, god of the winds, the aeolian harp originated in the 17th century and achieved its greatest popularity in the romantic era ROBERT A WARNER
