You can get a loud "wooowooooo" with a glass of beer :D
Be sure your finger skin has no fat or soap layer and just find the adequate 
fingertip pressure and speed

Yeah. The recording quality isn't all that - but I guess, much like a 
pipe organ, a glass harp isn't especially easy to record.

Of course, he can't do the 11-note block chords in the original score. 
But he manages to come surprisingly close. A glass harp also doesn't 
have the 8-octave range of a cathedral pipe organ...

I kept expecting to see someone else come in and help him play it.

That would be a neat idea for a sequal - although part of what's so 
impressive is how many notes he manages to play at once using only his 
own two hands. ;-)

I did see a band on TV where all their musical instruments were make of 
old junk. In particular, the baseline was generated by slapping table 
tennis bats over the end of huge plastic pipes - like, several yards 
long each. Each length of pipe generated a different pitch of 
heavily-echoing metallic twang. Very odd...
