ABSTRACT:
A glass harmonica with a plurality of quartz cups of different sizes coaxially arranged on a spindle which is rotated by a variable speed motor. The cups are held on the spindle by intermediate mounting members which are slidable along the axis of the spindle. End mounting members, which are mounted on the spindle, clamp the cups so that they rotate with the spindle. A range of musical tones are produced when the rims of the rotating cups are touched by a player's fingertips, either the fingertips are moistened or the edges of the cups are moistened by a moisturizer.
