From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hydraulophone is a tonal acoustic musical instrument played by direct physical contact with water (sometimes other fluids) where sound is generated or affected hydraulically.[1][2] Typically sound is produced by the same hydraulic fluid in contact with the player's fingers.[3] The term also refers to an acoustic sound-producing mechanism used as an interface or input device involving the monitoring of fluid flow. Examples include hydraulophones for fluid-flow monitoring and measurement applications, such as building automation, equipment monitoring, and the like (for example, determining which faucet or toilet in a building is operating and how much water it is consuming).[4] The hydraulophone in the first sense was invented and named by Steve Mann.
