Thank you from me, too. I'm very much interested in the glass armonica
- [also the glass harmonica although the splinters can be tough on the
tongue.]
Like the man in the video, I also have written a piece called "Music of
the Spheres."
I'd bet a few hundred others have used that title as well.
Anyone else here?

You can also look at video and see if octave transposition of the
staff is
necessary;

Hi Richard,
Thank you so much for taking the time to find this. This solves the
2 treble clef question. I now need to tackle the octave
transposition question. In this piece, I see there is a Bb
below middle C which leads me to believe that one does have to
transpose down an octave from where the instrument will sound.
I think glass armonicas generally have a range from X4 to X7
so if it was C4 to C7 this would mean a transposition... but I
think some instruments go down to F3... hmmm...
Well, I think I will transpose down and say "(sounding 8va)"
or something to that effect at least for now.
The example you sent was very helpful. Thanks again!
Best regards,
Karen

Hi all,
I have a project for which I need to write for Glass Armonica.
I have come across this instrument before but I'm not sure if I
remember the proper way to note for it. I seem to remember that it
is written on a grand staff but with both staves in treble
clef and I
think it is written an octave lower than where it sounds. But I'm
not sure.
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
Karen
