What an magical instrument! Developed by Baschet brothers in the early 1950's. Here Peter Pringle plays his DIY version of this instrument and Ethervox Theremin. Basic sound is generated by dipping your fingers in water and rubbing them along a series of glass rods. These glass rods are connected to metal resonators that amplify the sound and create additive harmonics.
This other video shows two baschets (basic and bass versions) playing Erik Saties Gnossienne no1. Here you can see how wet those rods are. Interesting harmony between human, water, glass and metal.
