Beer Organ

[John Ross]

Hi Conrad,
I think emptying the bottles would hurt the 'tuning'. It is the different
amount of liquid in the bottles, that is a large part of the pitch
differences.
It must be a German thing, I remember being in a bar over there, and there
was a dozen bottles behind the bar, that made up an octave when struck. The
bartender was pretty good at making them 'speak'.
