2022年11月5日 · The Waterphone, invented by Richard Waters, is an intriguing and unique-sounding instrument that is made from a stainless steel resonator bowl with a spherical neck and a bronze pole. The resonator contains a little bit of water, resulting in an ethereal sound produced by the waterphone.

We currently sell two models of AquaSonic waterphone instruments: The AquaSonic Ripple waterphone, and the AquaSonic WaterSong waterphone. Both sound great! ↓

The hand held models I have made are: Small, Standard, Wide Range Flat Bottom (WRFB), Ultra light and a Bass Waterphone with a bowl top. All of these have been discontinued as the 3 current models Whaler, Bass, and MegaBass are superior in sound, materials and construction.

Weird, ethereal, eerie and creepy are all words used to describe the sound of the AquaSonic Waterphone. This is the instrument used in movie and TV soundtracks as well as theatre productions for sound effects in mysterious or suspenseful scenes.

Purchase the AquaSonic WhaleSong Waterphone Today! Of all the waterphone models we sell at TheWaterphone.com, the AquaSonic WhaleSong waterphone is our largest model, and measures 16 inches (40.6 cm) wide at the base.

If you're a musician or a lover of all things quirky, you've got to check out the Waterphone. This instrument has been creating spooky sounds for films since the 1960s! Movie directors (and whales) just love the Waterphone.
