Music/ Science Buffs
 

I am giving a huge lesson on Glass Harmonicas/ Armonicas/Water Glasses/ Water Harps etc. and the science behind what makes them work. I have plenty of info and pics but I want music. I found one site and downloaded their samples but I really would love to make a cd to play while the kids write about the experience.

I searched Kazaa but no luck. Any body have any ideas of where I can find some? I don't have time to buy it and wait for it to arrive plus it's easier (to be read as cheaper) to get off the web. Any info would be much appreciated.

What was the musical instrument called which was a number of glass

disks on a spindle in a trough of water?

Like playing a wine glass while it did the turning.

That may have some interesting tunes for the little dears.

Failing that, such staples as "Mary had a little Lamb".

They are simple and playable on the waterglass xylophone.

Lilith,

Sure. Here you go.

They are mp3 format. Should do the trick.

Lilith..

IF you lived near me.. I would suggest a quick trip to Siller Dollar City where you can purchase the music directly from those who make it..

Since that isn't the case.. and I can't seem to find much of it online at the moment... I would suggest that you go to any store similar to "Natural wonders" (which is located in most malls)... they usually sell the type of stuff you are looking for..

A very wise investment.. very relaxing.. and nice to listen to while relaxing in the tub :)

Thanks jseal but I have those...I need full size clips or more samples...I may have to weed out those that are obviously religious in nature but most likely not.

Oldfart~ That's a glass armonica...it's made with bowls on a spindle that turn through a trough of water.

Jenna~~~~ TY TY we have friend who own a "nature/spiritual" type store...I never even thought to call them!!!!!

drats! They don't have anything. Thanks everyone who has searched...I know I am always looking for strange things and I appreciate your indulgences!

Lilith,

If you are looking for strange things, then this seems as good a place as any to do so.

Try this... at least a location you might be able to buy it..
