---page break---
Bells of Metal
or Glass enclosed
in damping sachets
protruded to receive
the strike or rubbing
of a rotating
plectrum

A Fiddle-Bow
moved by the
foot or moved
by a foreign
power and guided
by the foot

This would leave
the both hands
at liberty - to
play on two necks
and so play treble
& bass together

Strings made to
vibrate by Wind
as in
1. Aolian Harp.

Harpsichord Keys:
and instead of the
breath use bellows.
One foot might
guide one bow;
the other, the other.
