Musical G1aASeS

The fingers must be wetted, and drawn round
the rim Of the glass 1t Is not every glass that
will produce a good tone; and even with the
best little practice is necessary to justly regu-
late the pressure Of the finger, so as to avoid
unpleasant noises. If you have not glasses Of
the proper ranges of size and thickness. YOU can
tune them by pouring water into them. The
practice dates from the middle of the seven
teenth century. In 1746 Gluck. while In Eng
land, played a concerto on twenty-six drinking
glasses The armOnca of Franklin consisted OF
a series of glass basins on an iron spindle made
to revolye by treadIe and kept moist by a
trough of water in which their lower edges
rested. Chords Of several notes could be PLAYED
on this, and pieces were composed for it but its
popularity was evanescent. You will remember
the allusion to the musical glasses in the
'Vicar OF Wakefield" written about fifteen
years after Gluck' performance
