Water Symphony uses a state-of-the-art synthesizer to make music you just won't believe! And it's all played by water drops falling on 16 piano-like keys.
There are 24 different pre-programmed instrumentations, an automatic mode to cycle through them, a manual mode to select your favorite sound and a sleep timer. It's in full stereo too! All this music comes from an elegantly styled instrument that sits on your or tabletop. Water Symphony will hit the stores in 2003 at a retail price of about $129.
A silent water pump lifts water
from the shimmering pool to the drip tube above.
Water drops fall on the keys below and the cycle begins again.
Turn the drip tube clockwise and speed up the drops. The
music,
and your mood, turn allegro.
Turn the drip tube counterclockwise and relax with soothing
melodies
that touch your heart.
At the touch of a button, the door glides open revealing a hidden control panel. It is here that you select your favorite instrumentation or, if you can't decide, set Water Symphony to cycle through all 24 instrumentations.
Another control allows you to fine tune the advanced sleep function - this just might be the next great cure for insomnia.
The volume control transforms the music to a room-filling aria or a gentle, and oh-so-relaxing, background melody.
The 16 keys catch the water drops. The water drops press the keys. A key might play one note, or an entire musical chord. One time, a piano note - another, three harmonizing French horns.
OK, it's like this: Think of wind chimes that play dozens of instruments and make incredible music instead of just the usual tinkle-tinkle. Now think of wind chimes played by rain instead of wind. It's kind of a rain machine-wind chime-orchestra!
