Introduction: How to Make Music Using a Wine Glass

I learned how to make music using a glass (not crystal but crystal is preferred) and I want to teach you how to,

Step 1: Materials

First you will need a glass, water, and a finger(please don't cut you finger off to use it).

Step 2: How to Do It

First fill the glass with water (the more water the lower the pitch) don't use the tip of you finger use the middle of it(not the literal middle the middle of the top section of your finger). Get water on your finger until you can make a sound when you rub it on the glass then make some noise. Note: don't push really hard on the glass but don't just skim the glass. Use a firm press but don't push so hard that the glass tips


You can do custom music using multiple glasses with different amounts of water in it and you can have fun with it

Please fell free to comment and don't be harsh.

Step 3: This Step Is for Those Who Are Having Trouble

if you are having trouble during step 2 then read the following!



I can't help you unless you comment saying your problem. So if you are having trouble with something comment or give me a private message and i will post how to solve that problem in 1-2 days. If it isn't posted in 1-2 days give me a reminder and i will tell you if I can't solve it for you or i will post it that day


So for now I need questions on how to do something and then I can post it here for all to see!


Step 4: Update

I was reviewing this ,and yes, it is very brief on everything. Some tips are to hold the glass underneath the containment part but don't hold the base of the glass. Apply enough pressure so that when you move it you can see the water ripple. The faster you go the better the sound will be.
