"Symphonium" is a musical instrument invented by Charles Wheatstone between 1825 and 1845, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It features a compact, metallic construction with ivory keys and a circular opening revealing a small, internal mechanism. This unique, early example of a musical instrument, with its intricate design and innovative technology, is a testament to Wheatstone's contributions to the field of music. The inscription on the device clearly states "C. WHEATSTONE, INVENTOR," highlighting his role in its development.
