Does anyone from the UK remember ITV's Picture Box [0] (a children/schools programme) and was old enough to be at school in the 70's when it was broadcast?
For years I thought they used a glass harmonica for the theme tune, but it turns out it was played on an even more unusual instrument, the "Cristal baschet" [1][2][3]. Also made of glass and relying on wet fingers to produce notes.
