The Glass Armonica

[robertfrank]

Someone needs to put some wet reverb on that wet instrument.

[Mshus]

the fact you can just do things like this even though it has ZERO relation to a guitar or piano and have it sound so good is just insane

[angr]

Reputedly invented by Benjamin Franklin who is said to have refused to patent and profit from it, content that many people would be able to enjoy it less expensively.
Thank you for the glass armonica, Mr Franklin.

[Appellonia]

It amazes me thinking about the VERY FIRST human being who thought of, created and finally HEARD the very first sound from each one of these amazing wonderful musical creations. ❤️‍🔥🙌🏻

Makes me wonder if there's a way to modernize this instrument where it doesn't require constant moisture, and it doesn't break

[shh]

As a sweaty hand person i see this as an absolute win

[trebmaster]

This is with the guy who starts talking about when the glass breaks and then it cuts your hand open and blood goes everywhere, right?

[greenworkstu]

can’t believe this was banned in the USSR

[owenf]

sounds like an unreleased radiohead song

[friendsinmyhead]

Hog can it sound like an organ cello violin and a calliope such an amazing instrument

[CMDRJakob]

Wonder if there's a way to electrify it or otherwise add distortion, would go so hard in progressive metal, just like instruments like electrified harps (or just, you know, a harp).

Not playi g rain on this instrument was a huge missed opportunity

[Pacvalham]

These two chords inspired the slower section of X-ray in my Spelling Alphabet Suite on MuseScore.

[agustinsida]

you just need a bass and drum in the back

[lanztorralba]

I feel like playing the song Dreiton which is a Minecraft song on that thing.

[shazia]

There is something unsolved mistry behind it, i m suffering with headache after listening that sounds 😢

[Happysoul_]

Hey! Dont play this instrument. People have died playing it due to lead infection which got transferred through this instument. It is dangerous so pls be safe

[Bevertron]

[throngcleaver]

Asking for a friend. 😊
