And it isn't the least bit presumptious to assume everyone who watches it came from that thread? I mean, Rules 1 and 2 are for raids, but try to keep the chan talk in the chans, unless the video is obviously related

I LOVE THIS SOUND!Seriously how does one learn to play it,I guess there are not many teachers around...the combination with the harp is just pure magic!

Just because it's music. Doesn't mean it's 4chan. Newfag.

Same principle of running a wet finger around the rim of a glass.

This instrument works the same way as glasses that you trail your finger across. Basically the main body of the armonica is spinning so when you place your finger on the edges (metal bits) it produces this same effect. Different sizes of the bulbs then produce different tones. And yeah, this is probably my favorite version of the sugar plum fairy too ;)
