The first AEOLIAN HARP may have been discovered by a wandering shepherd who came upon the carcass of an animal - and he heard the amazing sound of the wind blowing across the sinew of the beast. The wind blowing through the old barbed wire fences in Bodie makes aeolian tones. The sound is unlike any other instrument. It is, in fact, the Undertones that are heard when breezes blow across the strings. In Victorian days, Aeolian harps were made to fit a window sash in homes - and the strings could be tuned to a pleasant chord - When the breezes blew through the window, the harp would Play.... Never mass produced, an aeolian harp is any instrument played by the fingers of the wind. Hence - Our Voices are aeolian instruments... Wind chimes are aeolian instruments. Visit Aeolian Harp on Gold Rush Day and Autumn Harvest Street Fair on October 19. Find Gold in Angels Camp!
