Hi, I have an array of plastic columns under each glass, yes pretty sturdy! Styro would work I imagine for a test set, for just a little while

Amazing music you make, I myself am studying the mbira cycle, and trying to make a song out of it on the kalimba,and btw your music is beautiful and inspiring.

[brienengel]

@bad1marius Wonderful, I have enjoyed a video of yours too, nice kalimba! Thanks for encouraging words, more material to post soon. Busy month after which I hope to add some more....

maybe you've already answered this previously, but how do you keep your fingers(or the glasses rims) moist to keep the sounds coming?? Is there some light oil on you're using?...oh never mind. I see the liquid to your right. Is that just water?

thanks....really great playing.

[brienengel]

@matycee Yes, just water. Sometimes I put ice in the water, not this time though. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the pitch!!! And Spruill Oaks is also a One and Only, fantastic place to visit and play!

What is it that they're all on top of? Are they just leveled with styrofoam? Maybe wax, or plastic?

It must be something heavy, in order for them to stay sturdy, right?
