Ever taken a wet finger and run it around the rim of a good wine
glass?  It makes a wonderful eiree tone.  

Take a whole bunch of them with differing amounts of liquid in them
so they are tuned to duifferent useful notes in the mode you
are playing, and you've got an instrument.  Credit is usually
given to Benjamin Franklin (the only president of the United States
who was never president of the United States) for the invention.

I'm assuming this is what FL is using - it wouldn't surprise me.
It could be very nice in a niggun.

And when you're done playing it, you can drink it!
