  • for what reason would people dislike this?

  • que bruxaria é essa??

  • i.e. I love it - it is beautiful & very cleverly done

  • what's not to like :)

  • This is one of the few cases where i will not google how it works, and just enjow the mind fuck.

  • @Pacany102: maybe you are the stupid one... except mozart has had a second personality called Beethoven... then you are right

  • I wish youtube had a way to like this more than once, or super like it somehow

  • Comment removed

  • @Pacany102 I think someone does not know what they're talking about, and it's probably not the performers who have spent hours practicing and provided a full explanation of the origin of the song. Not to mention it's in every child's piano songbook under Beethoven's name. Guess how I know? Nine years of piano currently under my belt.

  • @Pacany102 Well arent you a dumbshit.

  • Your a WIzard HARRY!

  • グラスハープ? lol

  • 111 mozart fans lols :P

  • bravo,bravo,bravo

  • I like it a lot the awesome gosth part! 1:40

  • This is utterly beautiful on about 6 different levels and it carries me away, but I'm convinced people can't do what this guy does. I'm transported......

  • ...i seek pole shift survival group...

  • I bet his nick name is Squeaky Fingers.

    But he's still the best at stroking that glass.

    Such feness, and mastery. It almost looks like magic.

  • Actually that's crystal, not glass. Crystal sings because of the different resonance properties it has than glass.

  • that is freaking amazing!

  • that is freaking amazing!

  • the staccato notes are not really clear that they are played shorter but GREAT JOB :)

  • what are the glasses made of ?

  • @JsThmYL88 They're probably just cristal glasses.

  • amazing!

    

  • you are so good at playing this song

    

  • this rendition of beethoven gives me a fucking headache. its way too loud and obnoxious sounding. terrible.

  • @d2girls You know, you don't have to say that just because you hate Beethoven. To me, it's actually quite nice sounding.

  • @coatermarioguy

    i dont hate beethoven. my ears arent bad though, unlike everyone else who thinks this piece is good. the actual song is much more tranquil, and beautiful sounding than this.

  • AMAZING 

  • Shine on, You Crazy Diamond.....

  • What happens if it's a particularly hot show and the water evaporates?

  • @ekoturnip

    The pressure will still need to be very low in order for the water to evaporate significantly.. haha

  • i fall sleep , after this video, wonderful

  • by drinking lots of wine

  • :O....Are you kidding?

  • esse cara deve dominar o mundo.

  • @joycloud probopy a woman found out while hse was doing the dishes

  • 110 people are jealous

  • Bravo

  • Try playing river flows in you :D

  • What an interesting way of overcoming the limitation of how far one's hands can reach!

    Clearly, the artist first performed the song while playing some, but not all, of the notes of the song... then did a second recording (wearing headphones which were playing his prior recording) while he played the notes that he'd skipped the first time through... and combined both the sound and video of the two recordings.

    It's a one-person duet! :)

  • best sounding instrument in the world.

  • this is called talent.

  • well... that was amazing. how do you do this without breaking a single glass?

  • A.MA.ZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How does a person figure out they have a rubbing glass talent?

  • @MonsterHunter721 copy cat from joycloud much?

  • @jdskickinit

    I was hoping it would be a top comment

  • i went from metallica to this. why. its good but why?

  • amazing, sadly it took me a while to realize it is the same person with two clips

  • @NicholasTheKeyHolder Did you get confused because one was wearing head-phones? Sorry, I don't mean to be cruel. I do the same sort of thing myself all the time!

  • @TheTomStephenson No, I just didn't see it I thought that it was like a presentation of two people together until I saw, "hey the counter is two different colors at a split. Oh wait, oh its the same person, split screen editing."

  • Einfach herrlich....

    Simply wonderful....

    Simplemente hermoso...... gracias

  • holy shit

  • WTF'???????????????!!!!!!!!! Xd

  • 107 'dislikes'?  How can anyone dislike this???

  • @TheTomStephenson There is plenty of morons out there. And on the internet they can be idiots and remain undiscovered...

  • @corbilly Tell me about it! (Actually, don't - I already know).

  • best one i've heard!

  • omg amazing @_@

  • u dont get music out htat glases -,-

  • WoW! how does that work???

  • @LOLLIEpopROX yes, the crystal glasses resonate when he rubs his finger on them

  • thats amazing!

  • Science, beauty, big talent...

    Awesome :)

  • awesome.. wonderful instrument...!!

  • im in the AWESOME part of youtube!

  • @momentomori93 Hmmm... I did not see any cat in this video..

  • @momentomori93 FUCK YEAH.

  • @momentomori93 hapy not to be in the weird part today

  • lovely amazing without word just hear

  • is this shit for real? can u actually make sounds from water glasses side by side?

  • @thepakibye You can do that! It's a very basic science!

  • @thepakibye you have to have the correct level of liquid in the glasses to get the different sounds. and they have to be wine glasses because the sound is the neck vibrating from rubbing water against the edge of the top of the glass.

  • while the vid loads. Press 2 arrows of your keyboard, you can play snake while you listen.

    Like so Everyone can see :D

  • My nail hurts /:

  • excellent!

  • smooth swift hands. none of the glass barely moves. simply amazing

  • Truly amazing, but the person to the left looks a bit like Hitler.

  • bravo!

  • Nice music :)

  • if only he had 4 arms..

  • I'd call that a "glass violin", more than "glass harp". Wonderful performance however.

  • thumbs up if you are one of few who realizes this is only one guy with two videos and the second video in it he is wearing headphones so he can know when to play the background noise...

    Basically... thumbs up if you realise this is ONE PERSON not TWO!

  • @WaterElementall I don't want to sound like a dick or anything, but honestly I just wanna slap you when you say "thumbs up if". Secondly the second guy (obviously the same guy) is not playing the background, he's just simply playing what would be the left hand (if played on piano). Also, it's realize not realise.

    Now let me take a moment to acknowledge that my comment may in fact also be considered douchey, but . . . . meh =\

  • @EdgarImpact Yes I admit I am human and I make mistakes, and yes your comment does make you sound like a dick. And yes I could talk and try to insult you in dozens of way I can think of in these few seconds but I won't do that.

    I won't regress, or (like you) attempt to disguise that regression. I am better then that. You may think less of me, but honestly... I don't care what you think of me... so meh.

    P.S. Thumbs up if you read this till the end.. ;)

  • @WaterElementall awesome, happy new year.

  • @EdgarImpact Tnx very much, you too! ^^

  • @EdgarImpact

    it can be realise or realize depending on your geographic location retard

  • @stokastia

    Yeah okay whatever, though traditionally both were acceptable (usually realize = US and realise = UK) that's not really the case anymore, you could say it depends on where you live whether it's enforced or not. However, I should note that they have different meanings. Realise: earn on some commercial or business transaction; earn as salary or wages. How would that fit to the glass harp???? . . . . dick

  • They aren't Asian.

  • sooo friggin awesome!

    

  • How does a person figure out they have a rubbing glass talent?

  • @joycloud By rubbing glass!

  • @goonerNik Best... Answer... Ever!

  • @joycloud By not spending hours on youtube

  • @joycloud maybe they don't have it, but develop one.

  • @joycloud Its when you have too many glasses at your room..becouse you hate to clean..and you just think..what i can do with all the glasses..there is only one logic asnwer..playing on glasses.. :d

  • @joycloud They don't, it's called practice

  • @joycloud Nipples. That is all.

  • what the heck man you have a awesome gift

  • Dude hurry the hell up the customers are waiting for their water!

  • it sounds like flute =))

  • @kulleza7290 Are you kidding? That sounds no where NEAR a flute. I played flute since the sixth grade and my very last year of high school and this sounds nothing like it! It's softer, has a more... sweet sound. Flute has a loud sound, the high notes sound as sharp as hell and the low notes are pretty good. But still loud.

  • how i love thee..

  • whats next?GLASS HARP HERO.for Xbox and Ps3.this is sweet though!!

  • Great vid, great sound! Great composition. Would love to be the instrument myself.

  • @MrSkullman858 I forget his appearence when I listen de melody

  • im sorry but he kinda, looks like hitler.... without the mustache.

  • DO CRAZY TRAIN

  • @lagundafire XD I see what you did there....

  • my head tingles

  • What are other main instruments this musician can play?

  • about the Justin Beiber comment an Beethoven---

    How educated is this guy who comments

    Beiber is a spoiled brat who will be forgotten shortly

  • Tuning that thing must be a pain...

  • @eisbaeraurora But at least you'd be well hydrated! :D

  • @eisbaeraurora he actually has a video of him tuning it, and he did it in less then 10 minutes

  • @eisbaeraurora yeah but atleast you wouldnt be thirsty

  • @eisbaeraurora I picture some idiot walking in: "Thanks for the water guys im thirsty as hell!" *takes sip*

    Tuner: NOOO!!

  • @eisbaeraurora hahahahaa

  • @eisbaeraurora Evaporation.

    D:

  • LOL..DJ in da house..put you'r hands down to the glass..

  • @ahsi88  - oh dear, oh dear!!

  • @ahsi88 GOD OF TROLLING

  • @ahsi88 OP is a fag for even attempting to troll people with that.

  • @lordbubba33 I'll hold the camera.

  • @lordbubba33 Justin who?

  • @lordbubba33 Wow, bubba, your post is one of the few things I can think of that sounds more idiotic than saying Beiber is better than Beethoven. Congratulations on making that comparison seem intelligent compared to your nonsense...

  • @lordbubba33 with a chipmunk XD whaha, call me when you're going to do that, I want to see it :P

  • Difficulty Level = Asian

  • @trewq343 lol remake the movie white men cant jump into white men cant play glass harp lol

  • I'd like to see justin bieber write a song as good as fur elise

  • @crapsonashovel I don't think Justin Bieber actually writes music lol

  • is this what richard hammond does on his off time? :]]

  • Are you Harry Potter?

  • this.......is beauty

  • Un seul mot : MAGNIFIQUE !

  • 1:37 - 2:50 was absolutely surreal. Beautifully done, sir.

  • I LOVE IT!!!!! hoe can you learn that, it must take ours over ours....

  • SNORE.

    

  • @floppykid Shut up asshole

  • @unowen7951

    I'm allowed my opinion, to me, it's boring.

  • @floppykid my opinion is that you have shit taste.

  • Do "Toccata and Fugue" ! This tone is the perfect for it

  • @zubieta If you search here for "Toccata i Fuga d-moll J.S. Bacha - Festiwal Muzyki Kameralnej w Bolonii (HD)" you'll see a great rendition of Toccata on a glass harp. :)

  • 121 lost their pencil..poor people

  • See the dislike bar? Yeah, neither do I.

    

  • @MammaNelson What the hell is wrong with your eyes?

  • This is so awesome. Anyone who dislikes this is absolutely crazy!

  • how does glass harp work?

  • @kliedako The tone depends on the size of the crystal glass and the amount of water in it. Notice that he is rubbing his moistened finger on the rim causing the vibrations.

  • @kliedako when your damp fingers move along the top rim of the glass it causes the glass to vibrate causing sound. The size of the glass and how much water is in it determine the frequency that it vibrates. Smaller glasses and more water make higher sounds.

  • Baroquian DJ'ing at its finest! :P

  • I used to be able to play like this, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • now the people who disliked this failed at trying to play fur elise on any instrument and are gelous of this guy`s awesome work. good job on the vid :)

  • I wonder how he masturbates.....

  • Its great but it gave me a headache :(

  • That was absolutely beautiful!

  • Forever alone..
