Ben Franklin Week Starts Off on a Great Note!

The ragamuffins from the streets of Philadelphia sought refugee in Franklin's lodgings, hoping to recreate his rags to riches life by learning a few tricks of the trade from the master inventor.  I, Master Woody, his journeyman jack of all trades, made them try out the most difficult, and elegant, of all of Ben's inventions: the Glass Armonica!

 Mistress Maya and Master Holden worked at measuring the right levels of water in their glasses.

 Maya and Holden achieved a fine tone, not unlike the singing of angels, or so Debbie Franklin said!

 Mistress Hannah is seen here working on her original composition for her glass armonica.

 Master Isaiah and Journeywoman Olivia work out the scale for his complicated song.

 Journeywoman Olivia spent extra time helping Master Isaiah perfect his finger action.  Master Isaiah ended up writing a long and elegant composition worthy of the instrument.
