The Verrophone

While reading the Google Books preview of Thomas D. Rossing's book Science of percussion instruments, I stumbled across the Verrophone. The Verrophone is quite close to a glass harp made of wine glasses, only it looks much cooler, being made out of big glass tubes. The sound is sharper and with more attack than the glass harp.

Here's a nice piece with a verrophone and a glass harp.
