Singing Wine Glasses
Fill the glass with water, then pour the water into a liquid measuring cup. Repeat at least three times, and calculate the average of your measurements. Turn on the chromatic tuner and place it near the wine glass. With the wine glass empty, sound a note by rubbing on the rim of the glass to determine the fundamental frequency of the glass.

Singing Wine Glasses
Background. Glasses have been used for making music since the Middle Ages. The first musical instrument made of upright wine glasses was called the glass harp and was invented around 1750. About 10 years later, Benjamin Franklin—one of the founding fathers of the United States—invented a mechanical version of the glass harp, called the glass harmonica.
How to Make a Wine Glass Sing Science Experiment
Sing, wine glass, sing! Although a wine glass can't sing by itself on command, with just a little help from you, your singing wine glass can make music! This experiment is super easy and only needs two supplies (a wine glass and water). By changing a few variables, kids can explore and test how the pitch and volume of sound changes.
Singing Wine Glass Activity
separate glass of water; wet fingertip; Ping pong ball (optional) Instructions: Hold the empty wine glass on a tabletop at the base of the stem with one hand. Wet the index or middle finger of your other hand with some water. Lightly rub your wet finger along the rim of the glass. As you rub the glass, you will hear the "singing" sound of ...

• Now, run your wet fingertip along the rim of the glass in a slow, circular motion. Do you hear a sound? EXPLORE MORE Take two more wine glasses, and put them on either side of the first glass. Fill one with LESS water than the first glass, and fill one with MORE water than the first glass. Place them in order from least water to most water.
Singing wine glasses
Marieke and Tilly experiment with making music and doing science experiments at home. Using wine glasses filled with different volumes of liquids, they investigate how sounds are caused by vibrations and how changing the volume of liquid affects the pitch of the note. Simply rubbing your fingers around the rim of a glass can make an amazing noise.
Science behind the singing wine glass
A clean finger improves the stick and slide action. As soon as the first few vibrations are produced, the glass resonates. That means you're causing the crystals in the glass to vibrate together and create one clear tone. You can change the pitch (highness or lowness of the sound) by adding to or subtracting from the amount of water in the glass.
