Glass Harp, Verrophone and Glass Flute let perform music of any style and trend. The wide, that is seven octaves, range of instruments gives rich alive sound. Similar either to enigmatic signing or to the breath of wind it gives birth to a special, tangible and at that same time elusive musical texture.
