It has been previously posted, but no apology necessary. Its a fantastic feat which stands being watched again.

As regards the N question, my gut feel is you'd struggle in HO/OO as there's a certain degree of 'resistance' with every strike, with a decent amount of oomph (forgive the technical term) needed to produce the note.

If you did it with electrical or optical contacts and triggered samples, definitely. Otherwise as mentioned, there's not enough mass to strike a wine glass for the tone.

I hadn't seen it before so thank you.

Unfortunately, I can see a drunken Christmas experiment coming on  :worried:

Cheers, weave  :beers:

I hope your experiment goes better than mine! The liquid in the glasses keeps mysteriously disappearing, (hic) :pint:

Ah yes the Miniatur Wunderland  "music" video.  I saw that when they first posted it.  A clever bit of fun :)  There was a "making of" too, with some of the different experiments they tried for the best methods of "playing" the glasses.
