The Hydraulophone

The Hydraulophone is an instrument that uses the flow of water to make the sound of music!


Developed by Steve Mann, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Toronto and his colleague Ryan Janzen, hydraulophone is a water based instrument. This fish shaped instrument involves the use of 12 water jets (that sout water out of twelve holes), each standing for one of the twelve notes. In to these water jets the users dip their fingers, producing soothing music.
