I'm wondering though, about nuances of tone, using different liquids.

A tasty Stout might render a nice dark tone for example. Or a nice Chablis might produce a more sharp tone ?

And, how about a long-scale glass vs. short-scale ?

And what bridge pins would render the most sustain ?

That is phenomenal.

I'm gonna go line up all of last nights beer bottles and start working on Beethoven's Ninth. One moment please........

Each of the glasses are turning all the time, so that is why just touching the glass produces a tone, still...quite the skill, and of course with the above suggestions, being a roadie for Either Coastie or Joe could be a lot of fun at the end of the performance.... :lol: :lol: Steffan

This was a transcription, Mozart (and many others) actually wrote for the glass harmonica and Ben Frnaklin developed a keyboard version. I think it needs crystal, so you probably won't get good tone with cheap Walmart glass. :)

Steffan, you'd love the full-size, gimbal-mounted billiard table.

And the plentiful supply of Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter and nice selection of Belgian "Abbey" beers.
