Have you seen any evidence that we're making some kind of progress in this area? I'm not an animal rights activist...just an advocate for meaningful reasoning about history. Also, I've looked through Kirchner's other innovations and don't find anything particularly redeeming about them. He worked for the bad guys, right?

Not an amazing feat for me cuz they have only 3 pages of archives. I learned a lot of amazing things, like the feral children/people and some cool houses/strange architecture from all over the world. p.s I'm addicted to cats so you can imagine my reaction to a cat torture device. that said, peacay's comment makes me more determined to learn more about the extremely fascinating (and probably wonderful) Kircher.

Perhaps different body parts could be used to get different notes. The high note location is obvious. Maybe a punch in the stomach for a low note? (**ooph!**) I like your idea of a Kircher piano!
