Cornelia playing the "Call of Cornelia" on an organ

Dr. Cornelia C. Contralto II, or simply Dr. Contralto or Cornelia, voiced by the late Carol Channing, is the curator and owner of the Sound Museum. She, like her great-grandmother Professor Cornelia C. Contralto I, is an expert in acoustics and vibration. She also helps Carlos develop his Invented Instrument and find the perfect sound. She is always looking to add to her great-grandmother's sound collection, and at the end, she annexes Carlos' new and improved Invented Instrument. She was also responsible for playing what he called the "Call of Cornelia" on her organ.
