Losche Glass
By Dennis Steckley

[ Ref. Galen Bird in 200203 MMDigest ]


Forgive my ignorance, but how is Losche glass used in musical
instruments?

Dennis Steckley

 [ The German verb "löschen" means to clear or quench, so Lösche-Glas
 [ might be hot glass chipped with drops of cold water.  Or maybe it's
 [ related to the Lösche (Loesche) orchestrion!  See the glass panels at
 [ https://www.mechanicalmusicpress.com/reblitz/galleries/eu_orch_los_1k.htm
 [ -- Robbie

 [ I wasn't sure either, so I asked Galen: Is this glass from a Lösche
 [ Orchestrion?  He replied: Yes it is. It is a recut but is beveled.
