      @@ems7623 The idea came from a concert he saw where the instrument was an assembly of wine glasses that had different amounts of water in them to play a specific note. He thought it was inefficient to only be able to be play two notes at a time (two hands) and wanted to make one laid out a piano. I would say an instrument of that nature and origin is unusual and therefore eclectic.

      Fun fact, The Great Pyramid of Giza was built in 2,500BCE, and Cleopatra was queen around 50CE. So there was more time between the building of the Great Pyramid and Cleopatra's reign than there has been between her reign and present time.
      Also, the Egyptian Empire existed at the same time as woolly mammoths. The last population of woolly mammoths known existed on a remote island off the coast of Siberia called Wrangel Island until about 2,000BCE. So they only died out about 4,000 years ago.

      I’m no expert.

I wasn’t at all sure when I made my comment. But after your question, I went looking and discovered that I am right.
      “After thirty years of experimentation, Finkenbeiner's imitative prototype consisted of clear glasses and glasses later equipped with gold bands mimicking late 18th-century designs. The historical instruments with gold bands indicated the equivalent of the black keys on the piano, simplifying the multi-hued painted bowl rims with white accidentals as specified by Franklin. Finkenbeiner Inc., of Waltham, Massachusetts, continues to produce versions of these instruments commercially as of 2014.”

      then. farmers with squirrel guns up against the UK world power.
      btw... the king actually refused, offering instead to sell us cannons and powder. Ben paid for
      it all with rubber checks and worthless IOUs (we had no treasury then) until we got so far into
      debt that France couldnt afford for us to lose.
      the country was founded on kiting checks.

    Oh my goodness. I am nearly 66 years old. I live in the UK. Music of many sorts has always been part of my life. My great grandfather was a pianist and had a beautiful voice. Sadly apart from singing in a schools choir, we were without sufficient funds for me to learn an instrument as such. I have one out of my three children who has the same love of music and plays the flute. However despite my love for music, never, ever have I heard of, seen or listened to this instrument. It’s truly beautiful. Can anyone please tell me if it is ever played in the UK, and if it’s possible to hear it being played? I would love to be able to go along and hear it being played. Thank you.

    Lovely performance. Thanks so much for uploading it, and it was lovely to be able to see you play as well. Way back in the eighties I went looking for Bruno Hoffmann's recording. I couldn't find it anywhere. I even braved the horrors of the Auckland City Public Library's LP collection. The young Chinese man behind the counter obviously didn't believe what I was asking for existed. After searching through thick volumes he finally found something that confirmed I was right and he was wrong, but he still couldn't help me. So in desperation I asked Radio New Zealand to play it for me. They said they didn't have it. I said the radio was the only place I could have heard it because I didn't know anybody else who loved Classical music. So they dug into their archives and (of course) found it. They played it for me, and before I knew it what I expected happened: other people were asking for other glass harmonica music.

I listened for that sound again all my life & sometimes the violin produces it, as in Paganini's "Rhapsody on a Theme" but this is it absolutely!!! Now if someone would play "Rhapsody on a Theme" from "Somewhere in Time," the 1980 movie, on this glass harmonica, THAT would be the closest you could get ON EARTH to what Heaven sounds like!!!

    Strangely the instrument produces a kind of "infra sound". Its been said that during prolonged performances many of the spectators would leave feeling dizzy, upset, hostile, and even cry for no discernible reason. Performers were also afflicted with headaches, nausea, and were said to grow more hostile, and erratic as they played. It wasn't only a few cases, but many, over a period of over 80+ years. It was an early recorded example of one the first times that such reactions from certain sounds were shown to have a negative effect on the body. So much so that in certain places the instrument was banned from being played.
