Gabinetto armonico, pieno d'istromenti sonori indicati, e spiegati - Bonanni, Filippo 1638-1725; Westerhout, Arnold van 1651-1725 (Rome Placho, 1722)
The Gabinetto armonico, says the author on p. 1, was "una Camera contigua all'erudito Museo del Collegio Romano", being the museum assembled by Athanasius Kircher. The front façade had a "Grotta" in which Vulcan and three Cyclops played a carillon, as well as an automaton with organ and harpsichord playing compositions by Pasquini and Caffi.
