Pipes, pumps and water can be used for many things. The most creative use must be a Funtain Hydraulophone. Videos and additional pictures after the jump. Starting from the left side of the hydraulophone Each jet corresponds to a note on the musical scale starting at “A”, and moving through the musical alphabet, where each jet can be labeled as “A, B, C, D, E, F, G, a, b, c, d, etc.”. As people run their hands over the jets, a natural minor scale is played on the whole notes from “A” to “a” leading to melodies such as “The Ants Go Marching” or “Summertime”. Starting on the jet “C” gives us the major scale from “C” to “c”, and leads to songs like “The Wheels on the Bus Go ‘Round and ‘Round”. Starting on jet “D” gives us the Dorian mode in which many traditional folk songs such as “What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor” are played. Starting with jet “E” gives us the Phrygian mode (whole note jets “E” to “e”) of flamenco music. ”

Hey Guys!
Did you know that…
Subwoofer refers to either a woofer, or a complete loudspeaker dedicated to the reproduction of
bass audio frequencies, typically from 150 Hz down to 20 Hz.

In the case of a rotary woofer, it is
possible to reproduce frequencies down to 1 Hz.
