From the Preface:
"In this day and age of complicated electronic musical instruments, played by highly trained personnel, laden with expensive equipment dependent upon overtaxed electrical sources, it is indeed a pleasure to introduce a simple, inexpensive, acoustical instrument which anyone can play very easily. Singing Crystal blends smoothly with many standard musical instruments, has an ancient, illustrious history, may be played by one person either as
a solo or accompanying instrument, or each goblet may be served individually to friends and relatives to accompany their voices and other instruments, in the same manner that brandy has been served from identical goblets for hundreds of years. The pure, delicate bouquet of sound, wafting through air, is equally as intoxicating as the liqueur."
From the Acknowledgements:
"My deepest appreciation goes to the following people, without whom this musical instrument could not have been developed. Don Nutting, my partner, spent innumerable hours of intense collaboration. This enabled the anchoring of my ideas on crystal music in the industrial harbor of workable solutions. His concepts development was superb. Lila Nutting not only typed excellently, but also sustained us with needed inspiration and support, as did Elizabeth Lewis. Dennis Pearson was responsible for the illustrations, Doug Baer for the artwork of the logo, and Joann Birsa transcribed and typed the musical notation.
"Mrs. Wendell Ament inspired me first, perhaps ten years ago, to begin using crystal goblets in my performances, after a jam session in her kitchen. And my musician sister, Pat Tanttila, loaned me some of her finest crystal for my initial concerts. The School of Educational Change and Development at The University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, has been extremely supportive of my graduate work on The Psychology of Creativity. The new musical instrument is also a large selection of my Project of Excellence. Finally, my gratitude extends throughout the Rocky Mountain region to countless friends, who have supported me with their ideas, enthusiasm and encouragement."
