William Zeitler has an extensive musical background: he started piano lessons when he was five years old, and went on to become a classically trained pianist and composer with a degree from the California Institute of the Arts. He put himself through school building and restoring harpsichords and pianos as well as performing. William had never heard of the glass armonica, until in 1995 he came across an out-of-print recording of Music for Glass Harmonica, performed by the late Bruno Hoffman, which included the Mozart pieces composed for the instrument.
