Description

Unleash your creativity with the AquaSonic Super Standard Waterphone, a unique bowed instrument that transcends traditional musical boundaries. This hand-crafted marvel is not only a stunning piece of art but also an extraordinary soundscape tool, widely celebrated for its ability to produce otherworldly sounds reminiscent of the electronic Theremin or the mysterious calls of dolphins and whales. Its haunting and ethereal tones have made it a favorite in film scores, symphony orchestras, and innovative music therapy practices.

The Waterphone's distinctive design features a resonating chamber and bronze tines that can be played with a bow, fingers, or mallets, offering an array of sound possibilities. By adding a small amount of water to the chamber, you can manipulate the pitch and tone, creating a dynamic and immersive auditory experience. The versatility of this instrument allows musicians of all skill levels to explore improvisation and develop a rich, atonal sound palette.

Constructed with care from bronze and stainless steel through high-temperature brazing, the AquaSonic Waterphone is built to last while maintaining a sculptural elegance. Whether you're composing for a theatrical production or simply seeking a new sonic adventure, this instrument offers endless potential to inspire and captivate.
