Seraphone
By Vincent Morgan

[ Ref. "Why Is The Seraphone Named A Seraphone?" by Piet den Uil
 [ in 190711 MMDigest

This is just a guess, but Seraph is a Biblical word for a type of high
angel that had six wings.  These are considered the highest of the
angels.  The creator of the Seraphone probably thought angels of the
highest order had entered the room when he heard the sound.  I don't
know, but this is just a guess.
