Product overview
- The aquaphone was invented 40 years ago by the American Richard Waters.
- The steel body of the aquaphone, to which are attached about sixty brass rods, is filled with water
- This produces vibrations and resonances when the stems are rubbed with a bow, struck with a mallet or simply by hand, producing mystical sounds
- The water level determines the character of the sound
- The music of this unusual instrument is close to the whale song, it is an echo of the seabed.
