Percussion Plethora: WATERPHONE (a.k.a. "Ocean Harp"), bowed on a LAZY SUSAN
WATERPHONE: The classic "horror/mystery/suspense" percussion instrument, instantly recognizable for its ethereal/haunting sound, the result of (usually) bowing its bronze rods (of different lengths/diameters), which protrude from the rim of its stainless steel resonator bowl. Also has a cylindrical neck (to fill the device with water); moving the instrument side-to-side while bowing (or striking) its rods and/o bowl affects the water inside, producing the waterphone's signature "vibrant/ethereal" sound. In this vid, I'm bowing it on a LAZY SUSAN, lol. There is no water inside (and you're hearing it totally "dry," with no effects added).

Another Interstellar waterphone with custom pickup mount. For this recording I used one capacitor mic from above. The pickup is waiting to connect.

Deep bass Sailophone is a waterphone with some special sonic powers.
Hyperstellar Sailophone is a very special form of waterphone. Long, bended rods give unique timbre, rich in low registers. The instrument has C# tuning.
The Sailophone concept, design and construction - Sławomir Janus, based on the original waterphone concept by Richard Waters.
Is it just succesful mutation or a waterphone evolution? Please comment and share if you like it.

Incredible musical instrument - the Vibrating Waterphone
Waterphone instrument was invented by Richard Waters. The Instrument on the video bases on his idea but it is designed and built by me. It has unique vibrato effect which is achieved by shaking the instrument. Special shape of instrument allows this effect to occur. Propably this is the only waterphone which has this feature. At least I've never seen and heard of this, so I report waterphone vibrato feature as a first. This waterphone is made of stainless steel and brass. The water inside plays important role. The tuning bases on two different pentatonic scales with microtonal temperaments.

Sounds of the Nightmare Machine
What happens when a horror movie composer and a guitar maker join forces? They create the world’s most disturbing musical instrument. Affectionately known as "The Apprehension Engine," this one-of-a-kind instrument was commissioned by movie composer Mark Korven. Korven wanted to create spooky noises in a more acoustic and original way—but the right instrument didn't exist. So his friend, guitar maker Tony Duggan-Smith, went deep into his workshop and assembled what has to be the spookiest instrument on Earth.

Kitchen Nightmares UK edited like the US version
What if Kitchen Nightmares UK were edited like the US version? A lot of people point out the stylistic differences between the shows and how annoying the sound effects are on the US version, so I thought I'd make a fake edit of the UK version to exaggerate the point. If you haven't seen the UK version you should watch the clip this video is based on, called "Chef Steals Gordon's Dish - Kitchen Nightmares".

I’m really, really excited by this new official Richard Waters’ waterphone made by Brooks Hubbert. Brooks is an amazing musician and instrument builder who knew and worked with Richard. This new bass waterphone is so very resonant, responsive and expressive! It is a dream to play.
