Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Katzenklavier
English: Cat organ. The instrument was first described by Athanasius Kircher in his work Musurgia Universalis, though the lack of an image may have left doubt in the minds of some writers. (The New York Times, for example, has carried an article claiming he described the instrument, and another stating he did not describe it in Musurgia Universalis.). His description appears in Book 6, Part 4, Chapter 1, under the heading "Corollaria," (emphasis added): The citation is noted by Kircher's student Gaspar Schott in Magia Naturalis naturae et artis, Part 2, Book 6, Pragmatia 2, titled "Felium Musicam exhibere." Schott, Gaspar (1657) Magia universals naturae et artis : Text and Image at Linda Hall Library.
Русский: Кошачье фортепьяно
