About the glass harp:
The glass harp was first discovered by the Irish inventor Richard Pockrich in 1741. “[Richard Pockrich's] instrument consisted of 26 goblets. It is played by running moistened or chalked fingers around the rim of the glasses. Each glass is tuned to a different pitch, either by grinding each goblet to the specified pitch, in which case the tuning is permanent, or by filling the glass with water until the desired pitch is achieved.” Wikipedia The glass harp is classified as a friction idiophone.
