I've just learnt that besides glass violin, Japanese also manufactured a glass  cello.  Unfortunately, the video clip of the above recital was not posted on the website, we cannot appreciate the tone colour of it.  This cello is made by Hario Glass Co. Ltd. and took 25 glass makers a year to make the instrument.  It is valued at $152,000.  This cello weighs approximately 11Kg as compared with wooden cello of only about 3Kg.

 

You may visit the following website to see the making process of glass cello:
