A Call for Frying Pans
I found an interesting site created by an organologist, someone who studies the way instruments are made and how the structures allow their specific acoustical characteristics to exist. It's very intriguing to note that the very first 'electric' guitar came into existence in about 1890.

Earth Sings
Music is organized sound. It can be organized by human hands or at an exponential, cosmic level. I strongly urge you to listen to the natural music our planet creates, far above our ionosphere. Unfortunately, the clip opens up with a commercial, and there's a scientific explanation over the 'earth song,' but you'll get the idea once you hear it. The sound is very rich in high pitched overtones. Enjoy!
