@@captainwithers I spent the last five years teaching myself how to play the glass harp and was just about to go on stage for my first live performance when I got a ding on my phone notifying me of your comment. Can you imagine how embarassing it would've been to find that out on stage? I immediately canceled the show and repurposed the harp for my new hobby of chucking wine glasses at complete strangers on the street while shouting incoherently about the time I wasted.

@kingsxkids 5 лет назад

This is the most amazing skill I can imagine. This is nuts to play on my guitar. Robert does not merely touch each glass- as of a piano key. He must glide over some segment of the glass circumference as the duration of contact controls quarter, half or whole notes. I cannot imagine how this is possible- yet I see with mine own eyes. " for the Glory of God " as Bach himself would say.

@olenfersoi8887 4 месяца назад

Not to mention the length of time it must take to "tune" each glass of different sizes with different amounts of water. It's not as if he can pack his instrument up once tuned properly! I presume he must have a record of how many milliliters of water in each glass will cause it to issue a particular note!

@ileavazan7693 6 лет назад

Crystal Glasses have been invented in 1673 by George Ravenscroft, but regular glasses were used for making music since the Middle Ages. The first musical instrument made of upright wine glasses was called the glass harp and was invented around 1750, around same time of Bach . About 10 years later, Benjamin Franklin invented a mechanical version of the glass harp, called the glass harmonica.

@robertschlesinger1342 4 года назад

Amazing musicianship. Benjamin Franklin invented a musical instrument with rotating glass disks of varying diameter and thickness to achieve different pitches. Franklin called his instrument the glass harmonica. There are,a few dozen glass harmonica performers and the performances are ewually amazing.

@@joermnyc I'm originally from Philadelphia and in my youth took physics courses at the Franklin Institute. Next time I get back to Philly and the Franklin Institute, I'll take a look at the instrument. By the way, during the 1830s, the Franklin Institute printed their own currency that could be used in commerce. I have one in the strange denomination of 12.5 cents.

Luis Santos It has been common and customary for many years to refer to music from the late Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods as "classical music." If you find this displeasing, you might sent a threatening letter to your local classical music radio station, which plays music from all periods.
