[chillincello]

Water doesnt do that....

[baronmorris]

cheers

[Onirayushizobura]

Seems like an interesting idea, although I doubt it would really ever "catch on". I would love to see one in real life, though.

Jazz Bands featuring Electric Hydraulophones sounds pretty cool if you ask me.

[PutItAway101]

Now play Stairway

[Narutoguy89]

wow sounds like those huge church piano which i believe is called a acordian

well onto busness that soo cool i got to get me one of those

[hydraulist]

Yes, in smaller churches they often use a reed organ (called a "harmonium") that is similar to an accordion. We've also used hydraophones for outdoor church services, like church picnic. Hydraulophones create the spiritually uplifting kind of sound and the water touches the heart and soul.

[jimbim121]

that's fRICKIN" awesome, how and the heck did you do that!?!

[hydraulist]

It's a newly invented musical instrument, similar to a woodwind, but using water instead of air.

There's a number of research papers describing hydraulophones (try Google search), as well as some YouTube videos that illustrate various kinds of hydraulophones (search "hydraulophone").

[apuoks]

i don't get it how these thinggs work.... but still its awesome

[qolorblind]

fake

[redSG]

lol. You're gay.

[qolorblind]

You're right... He is gay.

You 2 should get it on.

[redSG]

I get the sense that you already know my actual intentions and purpose for such a short and nonrounded comment, but that was directly typed in regards to you, golorblind. It is not a well researched fact about your sexual orientation that I just felt a need for sharing with you, but rather a monosyllabic sentence composed of only two words (one of which was a consonant)

[redSG]

...so that your obtuse brain could comprehend what I was implying: You are a pointless idiot with no purpose to serve on this immediate planet. [insolent 500 word comments are a nuisance -_-"

[geonational]

RedSG. To "my dismay," you are insecure, and you impress no one by trying to write like William Shakespear on crack. Smarten up, put away Thesaurus and go jerk off to a Sear's cataloug. Your long winded sentenced are quite revealing, they explain a lot about you.

[qolorblind]

If you like him that much, ask him out.

[redSG]

And to my dismay, you completely missed the point... again. Your intellect apparently could not wrap itself around the words I tried to use to convey my message of annoyance with you, but now it has turned to sheer revulsion at your existence. Nah, not really. You're just gay lol.

[qolorblind]

I know you are. But what am I?

[redSG]

Alas, you must be like 9 years old.

[qolorblind]

Alas, you are. But what am I?

[redSG]

This will be the last comment I post on this matter, not because I give up to your insolence, but because such immaturity is a waste of my valuable time. Good day.

[qolorblind]

"Big words" don't make you smart.

Speak content, not filler.

When you do that I'll debate your stupid ass.

[bomjumaku]

lol, why did i read your argument? qolorblind wins in my book. redSG, you wasted your own time typeing very large ammounts, that could have easily been said with one, short sentence.

[qolorblind]

HAHA

thanks

[Koreanflow]

Actually the point of your argument was rather stupid in the first place. So you both lose! Or win. Whatever.

[qolorblind]

I think we both lose, too.

[dirdeh]

WTF howe does that shit work i love it it sounds llike something from legend of zelda

[hydraulist]

It's like a flute (reedless) and it does sound alot like an ocarina (my daughter likes that Ocarina of Time song played on hydraulophone).

[dirdeh]

which song post it up and show me

[hydraulist]

The first song I played was a song my dad made up (with made-up words he used to sing to me when I was a baby). I think it's based loosely on something called "Tarantella Dance". The next song is called "Sally Salamander" by composer Ryan Janzen. Then there's the George Gershwin lullaby, "Summertime", from the 1935 Porgy and Bess. Summertime has become a jazz standard. See also Woodwater instruments, final edit; if you slow down the video you can see the fingering.

[AeroKleftis]

Simply incredible.

[MrRandomPerson]

im amazed. how does that thing work?

[hydraulist]

Previously known instruments use air (e.g. wind instruments) or solid material (percussion or string instruments), or electricity (synths) as the vibrating element that makes the initial sound. Hydraulophones bring a new category to the orchestra: water as the vibrating or turbulent medium that produces the initial sound in the instrument. Can also add MIDI/hyperinstruments. Search "suite for hydraulophone" to see a symphonic orchestra using all three states-of-matter, Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
