Wine Glasses You Were Meant To Play With - Polidicks

[quote] [img]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2011/06/luna_curious_musicalglass01.jpg[/img] Ever wish your glass of malbec was just a tad more musical. No, of course not. But we all grew up knowing that our mothers' glassware could make sweet music. These glasses were made to satisfy that kid inside.

They're sold in pairs at £23.50 (about $38), so start saving up so you can play that sonata. Source [Gizmodo] [Better Living Through Design][/quote] Small article but I think its pretty cool.

I could see a bunch of people whining over this. >_>

Seems like it'd be hard to tune exactly

Reminds me of this one time when I was on holiday in London(I think,can't remember where it was) and there was a guy playing the Harry Potter theme and other songs with glasses.It was awesome.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;30395216]Seems like it'd be hard to tune exactly[/QUOTE] Yeah, and since every liquid generally has a different density, it would also depend on what liquid you put in the glass. At least I think...

[QUOTE=Master117;30451967]Yeah, and since every liquid generally has a different density, it would also depend on what liquid you put in the glass. At least I think...[/QUOTE] It's sure to sound different if you put mercury into it than it would with water. But I'm not sure that the density of water is that much different than that of wine.

Where can I buy these? It'd be the perfect gift for someone I know.

[QUOTE=Master117;30451967]Yeah, and since every liquid generally has a different density, it would also depend on what liquid you put in the glass.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the density of the liquid doesn't affect the pitch at all. It's the column of air that's vibrating.

how exactly do you produce the sound i've never understood this

[QUOTE=BMCHa;30462822]I'm pretty sure the density of the liquid doesn't affect the pitch at all. It's the column of air that's vibrating.[/QUOTE] If the liquid is dense enough to prevent the glass from moving its going to be unable to move the air.

Cool, but a ripoff
