Mouth Organ 1825 - 1845

"Mouth Organ" is a unique musical instrument crafted by P. Peckmann between 1825 and 1845. This copper and leather instrument resembles a small cylindrical container with a mouthpiece and a series of small reeds, similar to a harmonica. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the piece is a fascinating example of early musical innovation and a testament to the ingenuity of its creator.
