The Telharmonium was essentially a collection of 145 modified dynamos employing a number of specially geared shafts and associated inductors to produce alternating currents of different audio frequencies. These signals were controlled by a multiple set of polyphonic velocity sensitive keyboards ( of seven octaves, 36 notes per octave tuneable to frequencies between 40-4000Hz) and associated banks of controls.

shorthair:
It's not anything new by that time. And those who....created it....didn't know dick about music. The thing isn't even polyphonic. It's just a popcul sonic doodle device.
