age234 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Here's a WIP of a glass armonica I'm working on. Not overly exciting. Just a tiny piece of a larger project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadlessBill Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sure, it looks good, but what does it sounds like? But honestly, it does look really good. Something behind the Harmonica might help the glass bowls stand out better in the darkness. I've never seen a real glass harmonica, but is the stand supposed to have a trough or something like that where the player can wet his/her fingers in order to play the instrument?

age234 Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 In the research I've done, I've seen them have a trough with water in it, which the bowls rotate through and keep the bowls wet. I've also seen just a bowl of water sitting on a nearby table. I think I'm going to make a cylindrical enclosure around the glass, the bottom half would keep the water in it. The top part would open and close like a piano keyboard cover thing, also setting the glass off from the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesshmusic Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Benjamin Franklin invented it. Mozart wrote at least one piece for it. I think you have done a nice job so far. The bowls do go through a trough of water to keep them wet, as far as I know. It looks very nice so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
