Donal Hinely playing the Glass Harmonium. That would be glasses filled with water to make the notes he wants. Many will know this song by A.G. & P.S. This was filmed at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival on April 8th, 2007
The Glass Armonica you mean was invented by Franklin and is practically a Row of specially formed glasses on a Stick that you can rotate (via pedal or motor). This is no Armonica, "just glasses".
Scarborough fair?

he´s actually playing a "glasharp". The Glasarmonica has bodies of glass rotating round an axis.

yes that is correct, the tuned crystal on a spindle, this is the precurser to it, playing glasses.
A harmonium is a type of reed organ played by continuously feed air from bellows usualy. Like an accordian.
