A
pyrophone, also known as a "fire/explosion organ" or "fire/explosion calliope" is a
musical instrument in which
notes are sounded by
explosions, or similar forms of rapid
combustion, rapid heating, or the like, such as burners in
cylindrical glass tubes, creating light and sound. It was invented by physicist and musician
Georges Frédéric Eugène Kastner (born 1852 in
Strasbourg, France – died 1882 in
Bonn, Germany), son of composer
Jean-Georges Kastner, around 1870.
