Sea-beck’s-Siren

This is an interesting concept for a musical instrument. It involves a disc with equally spaced holes arranged in circular arrays. By rotating the disc, air is directed through a nozzle, and as the air strikes the holes in the disc, it produces musical notes. Importantly, the notes vary depending on which circle of holes the air is passing through.

This mechanism allows for the creation of distinct musical tones or notes based on the arrangement of holes on the disc. Different circles of holes likely represent different scales, pitches, or musical elements. As the disc rotates, the changing pattern of air passing through the holes generates a dynamic and potentially harmonious musical output.

This type of instrument could offer a unique and interactive way to create music, with the user able to control the notes by manipulating the speed or direction of disc rotation. It could be used in a performance setting or as a creative tool for individuals to experiment with musical compositions by adjusting the rotation parameters.
