fantastic!  A bit slow, but otherwise they could just break. :P

amazing sustaining he's able to get... sounds more like organ than harp, 
though, despite being percussive (though that's some very smooth 
percussion I guess).

It is more like a bowed instrument than a percussive instrument.
Did you never try and rub  the edge of a glass with a clean and wet finger ?
You can even get a longer sustain than with a bow because it is a circular 
movement :-)

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...
