GLASS

sounding

​

Although glass is very hard, it also exhibits liquid properties.
In its smallest structures, it is not crystalline but amorphous, like water.
That is why it also resonates strongly towards the aqueous and atmospheric.​

Glass tube game

aus Glas


The sound of this instrument is a little quieter and more muffled than playing a quartz tube, but it can also be very intimate and touching.
Verrophon

Verrophone


Glass sound bars are softly padded on an aluminum frame.

Tender soul sounds can be heard when struck with felt bobbins.

Quartz tube game

aus Quarzglas


The sound is generated here by rubbing it with a wet hand. A small, gentle movement almost automatically creates an intense, weightless sound. The sound tubes are made of pure quartz. Their sound is just as pure.

Quartz register

Quarzregister

It consists of 70 quartz sound tubes with a range of 4 octaves. It is tuned to overtones on G, framed with many microtone intervals and a chromatic scale.

Quartz Miraphone


Quartz Miraphone from the 1st to 31st overtone on subcontrabass G.
When playing this instrument, this very low fundamental tone always resonates even though it is not tuned. This is due to resonances between the overtones. The sounds seem to spiral deep into the earth and drift skywards at the same time.

Glass sound bars are softly padded on an aluminum frame.

Tender soul sounds can be heard when struck with felt bobbins.

I tune the instruments in various scales from all over the world. I can also tune the Solfeggio frequencies, the Schlesinger scale or the planetary tones calculated by Hans Cousto on request. Therefore, the instruments listed in this price list can only be examples of a much wider range of possible variations.

I am happy to advise you.
