Isn't it just switching notes on and off based on the flow or lack thereof? I mean the water doesn't figure into the the acoustics of the instruments at all, right? Or wrong?
The notes corresponding to the 12 finger holes are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, a, b, c, d, e.
If you look at the pipes it's easy to verify this, because you'll notice that there is a big jump in length from the 1st to 2nd, but a small jump from the 2nd to the 3rd, and also the other small jumps are from the 5th pipe to the 6th pipe, and the 9th pipe to the 10th pipe. These are B to C and E to F jumps which are only one semitone.
All you need to remember is that the first (leftmost) finger hole is "A" (that hole corresponds to the longest organ pipe).
It just uses the letters of the alphabet, starting with "A", e.g.
A=1
B=2,
etc...
If you like (to write down songs, etc.) you can use "H" to represent the high "a", and "I" to represent the high "b", and so on, so you can think of the 12 holes as being:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L,
where "H = a", "I = b", J = c", "K = d", and "L = e".
Two thumbs up for braving the cold and making it all the way to the end of the song!
We were there earlier this month (November) and people are still flocking to both hydraulphones day and night (we should start a polar bear club for playing in the fountains).
The shut off the water two days ago (too much ice slick on the ground in the cold mornings).
If you got any other hydraulophone videos, it would be great to see them...
After this I'll sell my balls to the devil!
