Harry Potter on glasses by Ilya, master of glass harp

This brilliant man, Ilya from Siberia, entertains in Europe by playing classical music (AND the Harry Potter Theme) on glasses of water!

The set of glasses is called a Glass Harp, and each glass must be filled to the proper level to give it the perfect pitch. Then the fingers are dragged across the rims of the glasses with a careful touch to make them 'sing.'

I asked Ilya if it's difficult to play the glasses. "Nowhere NEAR as hard as playing the contact lenses!" he replied.

I'm just kidding.

@chrisredfiled123 the sound is dependent on the volume of water in the glass. Just have to "tune" them by ear and remember which glass is which note.
