BiographyBuschmann was born in Friedrichroda, Thuringia. His father, Johann Buschmann, was a passeurier who then began to improve musical instruments.In the first half of 1821 Johann Buschmann traveled to London, accompanied by his son Friedrich, and agreed to a £ 1000 contract with Mr. Löschmann taking orders for terpodions. They returned by setting up Buschmanns workshops in Berlin, Eduard staying in Berlin and Friedrich was on tour in Germany until 1829 or even a little longer. He is already skilled and experienced enough in the construction of musical instruments to begin to build terpodions and aeolins, as evidenced by the letters written by him and his Father. The first proof of the word Aeoline is found in a letter dated 28 December 1828.
Christian Buschmann-Overall, 25 terpodions have been made, mostly by Friedrich. His brother Eduard works mainly on wooden parts and inlays, and is responsible for the appearance of the instrument, even though you live and work in different German cities. Almost all terpodions ever built, still exist in different European museums.Johann Friedrich, while continuing their advertising travel across Europe. In addition to their appearance, they must serve the sale of the instrument, as some do not work for a long time. This may be the main reason why Friedrich is looking for another method for reliable sound for tuning purposes.Early experiments with aeoline may have occurred in 1824, when it has claimed that Buschmann built a tuning aid named aura, about 4 inches long and equipped with 15 reed tongues. (Aura's name is also later used in Germany to mean jaw harp). But there is no written proof.While still in Rinteln, in Buschmann's letter to the Eduard sun, it appears that Friedrich built a larger version of aeoline in 1829, with bellows and piano keyboards of two octaves, which became the size of a small desk, still much smaller than the key instrument still the same size as they had previously built.Buschmann's father Johann wrote in a letter of October 30, 1829 that he thought to take a patent for a new instrument in Bavaria.In 1833 Friedrich Buschmann married Sophie Volkmar. Terpodions, tuningadds and pianofortes warehouses are also built. Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann died in Hamburg in 1864.HarmonicaWood harmoniesThere is a legend about Buschmann finding harmonica (and accordion) but this can not be proved. Buschmann stated in a letter from 1828 that he had just created a new instrument, but the making of the harmonica had begun several years earlier in Vienna: "There is documentary evidence that harmonicas are being sold in Vienna in 1825 ..."The initial design of Buschmann was eventually emulated and modified for the better. One example is the Richter-made harmonica which is the original design of a modern harmonica.In 1826 he developed a harmonica variation with 10 fixed holes and 20 vibrating plates with the separation of the blown and sucked plate functions. In the end, the tone made by Richter is called a diatonic tone and is a standard harmonica tone.The business of Harmonic instruments began in 1857 when a German watchmaker named Matthias Hohner decided to become a harmonica producer. With the help of his family, he could produce 650 harmonica that year. Hohner introduced the harmonica to North America in 1862 a move that brought the manufacturer Hohner into the number one producer for the harmonica. In 1887 Hohner had produced more than 1 million harmonics per year. Now, Hohner has produced more than 90 different harmonica models of types, tones, and models. Which allows to play a variety of musical styles ranging from pop, blues, rock, country, ska and various other.
