Re: the Glass Harmonica!

[Xavier Otazu <xotazu@AM.UB.ES>]

        Hi again!

        The Spanish translation of Scientific American published this
article in september 2000, so the american publication has to be in august
or july 2000. I am sorry, but I cannot find this article in the online
version of this magazine (www.sciam.com).

        The autor is Jean-Claude Chapuis, and the title has to be "Cristal
musical instruments", "Glass musical instruments" or something like that.


Cheers
