IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
Thought it would be interesting to attempt a recreation of Ben Franklin's 
involving a spoon and crystal glasses filled with different amounts of water.  Depending on the amount of water in each glass, 
each would produce a different musical note when struck with a spoon.  And  yes, empty glasses do produce a musical note.  (I tried to creat water in the glass, but couldn't get it to look right.)   
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I'm rather new to POVRay, and this is my first entry to the IRTC.  Everything is basic POV primitives except for the spoon, which I got from Moray's website and modified slightly (I redid the handle and textures).  The texture for the kitchen counter was created in Moray material editor, as was the glass texture.  The kitchen counter and tile (that's a kitchen, not a bathroom) is modeled after my own kitchen.  I apologize for the messiness of the .inc file - most of it is cut and pasted from Moray.  I would have liked to create an image map to reflect off the tile, but didn't have the time or know-how.  I don't know what the black cylinder in or behind the glass is.
