The AquaSonic Waterphone is a unique, hand-crafted, water-filled musical instrument that creates hauntingly ethereal sounds reminiscent of humpback whale calls or the eerie, sci-fi sounds produced by a theremin. Because the AquaSonic Waterphone is atonal, it is easy and fun to play! To play the AquaSonic Waterphone the resonator chamber is first filled with a small amount of water. The sound is produced by bowing the bronze times (spokes) using a violin bow or percussively by lightly striking the resonator chamber or tines with a mallet, drumstick or by hand. The extended length of the column and the light-weight materials used in its construction makes it easy to hold while playing. Ruggedly constructed from bronze and stainless steel the AquaSonic Waterphone is extremely durable. With proper care it will last a lifetime. Because this is a unique, handcrafted instrument, it not only sounds great, but also looks great as a work of metal-sculpture art. Because this is a handmade instrument, each one is unique with irregularities that only add to its beauty. Over the years we have sold AquaSonic Waterphones to many productions of the musical "Wicked," as well as symphony orchestras, movie-production studios and recording studios. Listen closely the next time you see a creepy movie or TV show and the chances are that you will hear an AquaSonic Waterphone. SPECIFICATIONS Component materials: Stainless steel and bronze (extremely durable and will last a lifetime) Height: 14 inches, 35.6 cm Width at base: 16 inches, 40.6 cm Weight: Approximately 5.5 Pounds, 2.49 kg Description: The Galaxy is our largest model, and is twice the size of our Super Standard model waterphone. TERMS AND CONDITIONSFor international shipments: For international sales, import taxes may apply, which we are not responsible for.
