Scala Vilagio Waterphone Bass 35 cm, Waterphone, Made in Germany, Diameter 35 cm @+@+The instrument consists mainly of three parts: a closed, bowl-shaped, water-filled body made of stainless steel, a hollow cylindrical neck perpendicular to the top of the body and brass rods of different sizes welded perpendicular to the edge of the top. @+@+The Waterphone is played by striking the sticks with mallets, plucking them with the hand or stroking them with a bow. @+@+The pitch can be changed by swinging and tilting the body. The unique sound of the Waterphone is reminiscent of orca whale songs, space-like spherical sounds, not of this world.@+@+The Waterphone is often used as a percussion instrument in film music from the horror genre, but also in general in scenes that need an increased level of percussive tension.@+@+*Note:* Fill the water through the neck into the body. First fill about one litre of water into the body. More water leads to lower tones, less water to higher tones. It is best to just try it out !
