Musical Glasses Invented by Irishman Pockrich
Richard Pockrich of Ireland invented musical glasses that produced melody by tones from water tuned glasses. Gluck, Beethoven, Mozart, and others reportedly wrote or performed pieces for the instrument. A London rumor praised its art, while a bailiffs tale in Dublin shows Pockrich entertaining prisoners with a tune before a fire killed him in 1759.
