The Glass Harps-or Ghost Fiddle, as it was known in early America-is one of the instruments lost to folklore, ledgend, and superstition. It was called an angelic instrument, a cursed instrument, used by Doctor's to cure all manor of ills, and accused of causing insanity. For us, it is just one of the most beautiful-albeit haunting-sounds that we have heard.
