\subsection{Various Musical Glasses Players}

We conclude our treatment of the Musical Glasses with a quick survey of other musical glasses players:

The glasses continued to be popular throughout the nineteenth century. Scholes[???] records that in 1823 one Edwards

\begin{quote}
with two colleagues, gave performances in Scotland on a set of over 120 glasses, the largest of which held three gallons and the smallest of which was the size of a thimble, the whole providing a six octave scale.\footnote{Quoted in King (1946), p.118}
\end{quote}

Around the middle of the nineteenth century there was a clergyman by the name of Rev. Thomas Jessop, Rector of Wighill in Yorkshire (from 1830 to about 1860) of whom it is recorded\footnote{R.W. Hiley's \Title{Memoirs of Half a Century} (1903); London; p. 313\EnDash{}4} that he was

\begin{quote}
a man of prodigious learning, well read in Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, besides Latin and Greek. He was a good mathematician, had a knowledge of chemistry, played well on the violin. When he held an evening service in his house, he would accompany the singing by playing on musical glasses.
\footnote{Quoted in King (1946) p. 119}
\end{quote}

\paragraph{Other Musical Glasses Players}

In Stainer and Barrett's \Title{Dictionary of Musical Terms} (1888)\footnote{Stainer (1888)} we read in the entry for ``Musical Glasses'': ``The instrument has been recently revived under the name of Copophone''. 
\footnote{Quoted in King (1946) p. 119}
WHY? Was there someone named Cope? Was it a trade name? We may never know\ldots

As time goes on, new names (why?) for the musical glasses seem to get stranger and stranger. In the \Title{Musical Times} in 1901\footnote{vol.42, 1901, p.126} we read:

\begin{quote}
You probably refer to the ``Crystalphonicon,'' a species of musical glasses upon which a Mr. Arthur Lincoln, from New Orleans, performed, some thirty years ago, in London. He played on the glasses with his right hand and accompanied himself on the pianoforte with his left.
\end{quote}

But Scholes quotes in his \Title{Companion}\footnote{Scholes (1970)} what has to be the all-time record for the strangest and longest name for any musical instrument:

\begin{quote}
[The musical glasses have] the distinction of having had attached to it the longest section of the Greek language ever attached to any musical instrument, for a reader of the \Title{The Times} wrote to that paper in 1932 to say that in his youth he had heard a performance the advertisement of which styled the instrument the \textit{Hydrodaktulopsychicharmonica}.
\end{quote}

Also worth note are two posters dating from around 1820\EnDash{}1840:

\begin{center}
Positively for One Night only\\
\rule{3cm}{1px}\\
A Hundred Musical Glasses\\
Upon a Scale of Magnitude never before displayed in this Town\\
\rule{3cm}{1px}\\
The grandest, most ingenious, and exquisite\\
MUSICAL PERFORMANCE\\
Of the Kind ever exhibited in the known World, the Particulars\\
of which are as follows:\\
Mr. SMITH'S\\
NEW-INVENTED GRAND\\
HARMONICA,
\end{center}

Which met with such unbounded Applause at the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM'S, from a numerous Assemblage of British Nobility,at Stowe-House, on the 18th of February last, and at the Assembly Rooms in Sheffield and Doncaster.

T.S. sole Inventory and Proprietor of the Grand Harmonica, which consists of ONE HUNDRED MUSICAL GLASSES, on a Scale of Magnitude never before attempted, and which are arranged in five Treble Sets, to be performed on by five persons all at one time, and all of one Family, forming in the whole the most Grand, Ingenious and Exquisite Musical Performance in the World!!! The Harmonic Glasses, for Sweetness and Brilliancy of Tone, even in their original state, are indisputably the most Melodious of all other Instruments; but how far superior must they be on such an amazingly extensive Scale, as in the present instance; as it is evident that five Persons performing on the Glasses at one time must produce a fuller body of sound, and a much more complete and melodious chord, than the exertions of one Person (however excellent his skill) can possibly execute; in short, the combination of Harmony which they are capable of producing is indescribable; and nothing but the Testimony of the ear can convey an idea of their exquisite sounds, which may very justly, and with great propriety, be termed the very QUINTESSENCE of MUSIC.

And another poster from the same time period:
\begin{Advertisement}
\begin{center}
Three Musical Prodigies!\\
The greatest acknowledged Wonder in the Art and Science of\\
Music the Age has yet produced,\\
The celebrated Three Miss Smiths,\\
Whose astonishing powers in the Harmonic Art have\\
justly entitled them to the appellation of\\
INTANTILE [sic] MUSICAL PHENOMENA!\\
which includes the inimitable and unrivalled\\
MISS SMITH.
\end{center}

Only TWELVE YEARS OF AGE, who is enabled, from Mr. SMITH'S Inventions, to perform the most difficult Pieces ON TWO VIOLINS at ONE TIME, VIOLIN and PIANO-FORTE at ONE TIME; also VIOLIN and VIOLONCELLO at ONE TIME. Miss SMITH also performs Scientifically on SIX INSTRUMENTS, viz. Violin, Piano-forte, Tenor, Violoncello, Musical Glasses, and Grand Harmonica; is capable of leading any Band or Orchestra, and is allowed to be the FIRST JUVENILE FEMALE VIOLIN PERFORMER IN EUROPE.
