  2. I kid you not, the doc I’m making is for a movie that
    A- shut down the Charles Bridge for a(n awesome) scene and
    B- whose score features a ‘wine-o-phone’ (instrument made of tuned wine-glasses)

  8. That was great. Just one thing, how is it that he was able to produce those tones with a light touch instantly, whilst I have to spend a few seconds to get a sound?

    No question if the glass is half-empty or half-filled

    eurorail I don’t know if you said that because you want attention or because you believe it but that is not a good way to look at the world, learn to appreciate stuff like this, there are already anough actual problems in the world, accusing somebody you don’t know and likely have never seen that they are a liar will likely not bring any good

    what is the song called? I missed it when he said it and when I play it back I can’t seem to understand what he says or how to spell it anyway

  16. I like the way that his fingertips just barely meet the rims of the glassware to produce such soothing sound.

    Excellent playing; cool musical instrument!

    “Um sir, do you take requests? Bridge Over Troubled Water?”

    Ah yuk, yuk, yuk.

    “London Bridge is Falling Down? Love that dirty water?”

    yuk, yuk, yuk.

    “Stairway to Heaven? Freebird?” Whoo, whoo, whoot!

    Cool Photo!

    Correct me if I am wrong but I think this only works on real crystal, rather than regular glass.

    This reminds me of Bruno Hoffmann’s instrument, which looked like a box full of different-sized brandy balloons. Anyway, thank you, Alexander. it was delightful! You can come busk in my city any day. :-)

    First you need some quality crystal glass, wet your fingers and rub the edge of the glass…..and you must be smooth in your movement. We would do this sometimes, on holidays at the dinner table. It can be a lot of fun for kids, or you….if you are still a kid at heart. Love…:)
