Mario Bros. Theme Music Played on Wine Glasses

Posted in: Today's Chili

What do you do when you’ve played all of the Mario games and beaten them? The music is now rattling around your brain, and there’s nothing left to play. You start playing the theme song, that’s what you do. You get yourself 48 wine glasses and you start your musical career. That’s apparently what YouTuber Dan Newbie has done.

Watch him perform the Super Mario Bros. theme using 48 wine glasses, two pencils and a frying pan. The guy is crazy. Crazy awesome. Are those glasses filled with wine? No, just water. It really sounds great. This guy is a master at the frying pan by the way. I’ve never seen such mastery of a cooking instrument. And his pencil work is masterful.

Awesome job, Dan. I would definitely buy the album.

Musical Wine Glasses

Posted in: Today's Chili

I am quite sure that back when you were a wee little kid in school, you realized that different levels of water in glasses could create various “notes” whenever your finger rubs on the rims of the glass. Why not be a whole lot more professional now that you are all grown up, with money in the bank to spare? I am referring to the £39.99 Musical Wine Glasses, where it puts a new spin on an age old trick, making a set of these spit out plenty of notes if you are musically inclined.

Each of the shapely glass will come finished with a gold luster, featuring musical notations that let you know which corresponds with various levels of liquid. As an example, a nice full glass might be a B flat, and when you have had your fill of fruit from the vine, you will end up playing a G sharp. Just make sure your finger is wet beforehand, while taking a firm grip on the base of the glass with the other while gently running the wet finger around the lip.
