I heard a concert played on a crystal violin last Christmas so this is my impression.
It has a clear sound but there is less timbre than a wood instrument. It is very beautiful but the tones are not as warm as the traditional violin. I think of it as a new instrument based on an old one.
It was the first instrument that I have heard in concert that the audience collectively gasped when the first note was drawn. It has a startlingly different and beautiful sound. There were CD's of this instrument for sale in Willamsburg, Va where I heard it.
What else can I help you with?

What is the ray diagram of light refraction in air and glass?
When light travels from air to glass, it bends towards the normal due to the higher refractive index of glass. The ray diagram shows the incident ray coming from air, bending towards the normal at the air-glass interface, and then bending away from the normal as it exits the glass. This results in the light ray being refracted towards the surface normal in glass.
