...on a musical note

Music production   
 This project was to "make a working musical instrument. It doesn't have to look, sound or work like any existing musical instrument."  I took the easy way out on this one. We have done this as entertainment for the grandkids before, and it is kind of fun! It works best with crystal for more bell-like tone, but any glass will do. Just fill to ascending levels (I used colored water for a little pizzaz) and adjust the water levels until you have created a scale. Then you can practice tapping out tunes. Another fun thing is to run your dampened finger around the rim of the glass to produce a tone. Now, you have a whole evening of cheap entertainment!
