Pyrophone, Historical Museum of Strasbourg, 1876Frédéric Kastner, a physicist and son of a musician, designed the Pyrophone, or flame organ, in the 1870s. The instrument worked with coke gas, the gas developed in the 19 th century for lighting and for use in the home.

The sound produced depended on the diameter and height of the resonant chamber, which could be adjusted. (English)
