Grand whalophone - is a bigger brother of a classic whalophone - a superb quality waterphone produced by Turtle Drums! The extraordinary, beautiful and eerie sound that it produces gives an out-of-this-world sensation to the listener being a perfect instrument to create moving atmosphere in concerts, movies, spectacles and all sort of shows (also a great addition in a storytelling experience). There are many ways to produce sound from whalophone - you can use your bare hands, knock the spikes with your fingers or with mallets, or finally, use a bow which significantly enhances the spectrum of sounds. To create incredible "wah-wah" effect just pour some water inside the whalophone (into the holding pipe) and listen how it talks to you when you play it! Grand whalophone is a one of a kind, large waterphone consisting of 42 different length rods permanently attached to a stainless steel body. Spikes are made out of brass, alloy known for its great sound properties and transparent timbre. Holes located above the handle enable to hang waterphone on a line, relieving arm from whalophone weight.
