It's essentially a mountain dulcimer with a water-resonater. I'd love to hear one in action, but I couldn't really find any good videos of it. Anyone know some songs with one? Here's the only real video I could find on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vvoqiBj5FQ |

At Loanhead Music Festival every year they have a competition for making playable instruments out of recycled materials, some of which have some similarities to this. Then the was the orchestra in S America of instruments made out of scrap metal, and there's a guy who busks in Dublin on a sort of banjo made from an old Castrol gallon oilcan |

It was made by Jaques Dudon, who has made numerous instruments using water with the sound. He has several other interesting concept instruments he's made. For example, he has one that uses waves of light in certain positions to make music, called "disque photosonique." |
