Suite for Hydraulophone, as performed by Ryan Janzen in the Great Hall, with the Hart House Symphonic Band. This is the world's first orchestral performance in which instruments make sound from all three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas). Other orchestras use only 2 states of matter: solid (percussion and strings), and gas (wind instruments).
The hydraulophone is an acoustic instrument played by covering up water spray jets to play music. Acoustic hydraulophones are often fitted with underwater microphones (hydrophones) and some are also fitted with a MIDI interface, so that water spray jets can be used as controllers. The main fountain out in front of the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto is a hydraulophone.
Hydraulophones are musical instruments that use water to produce acoustic sound, in which the fingers of the musician are in physical contact with the water.
Musical instruments that are fun to play. You play music by playing in a fountain! Research prototypes are shown, then we see and hear permanently installed hydraulophones that make majestic architectural centerpieces, as shown in http://wearcam.org/h ydraulophone/index.h tm

Water fountain that's a highly expressive musical instrument. You play it by blocking the water jets in various ways, which forces the hydraulic fluid (water) into the sound-producing mechanism in various ways. It works alot like a pipe organ, except that it uses water instead of air.
Acoustic hydraulophone fitted with hyperacoustic (hyperinstrument) option to add a variety of instrumental sounds to the natural acoustic sounds made by water (separate fipple-like mechanism for each finger hole so this flute can play chords). (Note that the extra instrumentation does not come with the basic acoustic hydraulophone stock-model.)
Hatikva (La Mantovana, Ballo di Mantova, originally from 17th Century Italy), played on hydraulophone (water-pipe-organ flute), an instrument that's like a woodwind but uses water instead of air ("woodwater instrument"). Set to a very low and gentle water flow.
