The project I was working on -- and mostly finished -- for Steamcon last weekend. I'm really quite proud of it. :)

So far the response has been very positive. I'm curious to see how far this one gets shared...

I now kinda want something with multiple glasses and tiny metal arms that come down to play by pinging off the glass when keyed, rather than rim-rubbing...

I was thinking this too, though if the glass/pipe combination can be altered sufficiently perhaps multiple glasses wouldn't be necessary unless you wanted to play chords?

I had the impression that even with some adjustment, the pipe structure wouldn't work well for very fast note changes, so it would be useful to have, say, three individual glasses. Which gives you the option of chords and also means you can ting one while adjusting another.
