閃亮的提琴(二) - Glittering Cello



剛剛發現除了小提琴外, 日本還製造了玻璃的大提琴.  可惜網站沒有這次演奏的片段.  不知道音色如何.   這大提琴是由Hario玻璃有限公司25位工匠花了一年研製, 價值達 152,000美元.  這玻璃大提琴重11kg, 較3kg的傳統木製大提琴重許多.
下列網址載了製作玻璃大提琴的製作程序:

I've just learnt that besides glass violin, Japanese also manufactured a glass  cello.  Unfortunately, the video clip of the above recital was not posted on the website, we cannot appreciate the tone colour of it.  This cello is made by Hario Glass Co. Ltd. and took 25 glass makers a year to make the instrument.  It is valued at $152,000.  This cello weighs approximately 11Kg as compared with wooden cello of only about 3Kg.


You may visit the following website to see the making process of glass cello:
