Changes

Jorge Louis Borges, who has been mentioned in this section, has one book entitled ''Labyrinths'', 1962 in English.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinths]<br/>A harmonica player is a musician. Musicians are favorite artists in Pynchon's vision.<br>Harmonicas and harmonicas turn up prominently again in ''Against the Day''(and briefly in ''Vineland'').<br/><br />Weisenburger concludes this must be the [http://www.hohner.eu/index.php?384 Hohner factory] in Trossingen. While Weisenburger's link is the most likely one, Trossingen lies in Baden-Württemberg and not in Bavaria where Squalidozzi comes across the harmonica factory. The other major harmonica (and accordion) manufacturing was in Klingenthal (Saxony), much closer to the Bavarian border than Trossingen. Slothrop's mouth harp is a Hohner, while the company is also a major producer of accordions(accordions/concertinas/bandoneons etc. share the sound-producing principle with harmonicas), the key intrument instrument in Argentinian music. In fact, when tango became the rage all over Europe, accordions were marketed as ''Tangoharmonika'' (''Mundharmonika'' is German for mouth harp). <br/>For a detailed account of the harmonica in Pynchon's work, see Hänggi's article "'Harmonica, kazoo--a friend.' Pynchon's lessons in organology" in ''America and the Musical Unconscious'' (eds. Julius Greve & Sascha Pöhlmann).
