Shows invention of the hydraulophone, a musical instrument based on pressurized water jets, featuring "Nessie", a children's hydraulophone in the form of a cute green sea monster, as well as other hydraulophones, such as the single-jet hydraulophone in which all sound is made from one screeching water valve on a single jet. The video shows various changes in the sound, depending on how the water jets are blocked.

the hydraulophone was created and named by Steve Mann

http://www.frets.com/FRETSPages/Museum/museum.html Didn`t know where to put this link so I stuck it in this group. There are some awesome stringed creations of old time builds on here- well worth a look.
