The Glass Harp - or Ghost Fiddle, as it was known in early America - is an instrument lost to folklore, legend, and superstition. It was called an angelic instrument, a cursed instrument, used by Doctor's to cure all manner of ills, and accused of causing insanity. Benjamin Franklin would see the instrument in Europe in the 1750’s and, using his creative genius, would use the glass harp as his prototype for the famed Glass Harmonica. Great composers such as Mozart, Donizetti, and Saint-Saens would all compose compositions for it before it fell out of popularity in the early 1800’s. Despite its strange and short history, the Glass Harp still amazes audiences with its ethereal tones and dulcet musicality. Virginia Scites has been playing this instrument for many years and presents it in such a way as to educate, amuse, and entertain.
