What exactly is a hydraulophone? It looks cool!!!

[hydraulist]

@marcusbeliz A hydraulophone is like an underwater pipe organ in the sense that it can play more than one note at the same time (e.g. chords) but it is also like an underwater flute in the sense that it is played by covering up finger holes, kind of like an underwater tin whistle or tin flute.

If you do a web search on "hydraulophone" you can learn more about the instrument.

That's incredibly cool!

I'm actually looking for a recording of "Happy Birthday" in a minor key. If you could help me out, that'd be wonderful.

[hydraulist]

That second verse is a recording of "Happy Birthday" in a minor key. Did you want to hear both verses in a minor key, or is this recording sufficient (i.e. maybe just use the second half of it)?

[RabidIceWeasel]

If you know how to get a video of of youtube and onto one's computer, yes, it'd be perfect. :3

that second verse sounds awesome haha ive just today discovered hydraulophones, i wish i could play one without having to make or buy one.

If you're in the Toronto area, feel free to drop by and try one at the hydraulophone studio, or you might also want to play on the world's largest hydraulophone which is the main architectural centerpiece out in front of Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Road (it runs 24 hours a day so you can play it anytime)

[Ballslaw]

thats a little out of my way, im in San Antonio, Texas lol but maybe one day if im ever up there

[hydraulist]

Ok, let me know if you're going to be in the Toronto area, and I'll try to point you to some good hydraulophones. Also let me know if you find any hydraulophones installed in Texas (it's warm enough there for one), or if you find anyone interested in getting one installed.
