[darrentom]

Where is this?

[hydraulist]

770 Don Mills Road, Toronto:

Take Yonge Street subway north to Eglinton, transfer to #34 bus (Eglinton East). Get off at Don Mills Road.

Or take Bloor subway east to Pape, transfer to #25 (Don Mills) bus. Get off at St. Dennis Drive right in front of the pipe organ. As you step off the bus, the North division (12-jet hydraulophone) will be to your right, and the South division (45-jet hydraulophone) will be to your left.

That's quite impressive. How long would he have exercised on this?

[hydraulist]

He just walked over and played it with zero practice (first time in his life he encountered the instrument). If you want to learn hydraulophone, it's easy to play a recognizable song. However, with many years of practice you can get better and better at affecting the subtle changes in tone, dynamics, timbre, and expression and make each note into a time-varying sculpture. Because the water is "soft and squishy", years of practice can give you an ability to do intricate expression.
