** Tell me a little bit about how the instrument is played. The way the Earth Harp is played is I wear gloves with violin rosin, the dust of violin rosin. I crush that up and put that on the gloves themselves. Violin rosin is a sticky substance. And then what I do is I pinch the string and run my hand along it. So I don’t pluck the string or bow it, I actually run my hand along the string. And what I’m doing is I’m actually pushing the vibration in the molecules of the string. It’s referred to as a compression wave. And it’s the same principle actually as running your finger around the edge of a wine glass. In that situation you’re actually vibrating the material itself, and that’s what’s happening with the stings of the Earth Harp. **
