The MOST phenomenal instrument ever made… The AQUAOISE!!! This unique instrument is an aquaoise. This is the one and only member of the water family a.k.a the toilet family. This aquaoise has lots of different parts to it. Each part of the aquaoise is played differently. The sprouters look like a hose is located in the basin which is shaped like a box and has no top, which is like your basin in your kitchen. On the top of the sprouters there is a tap, you turn the tap clockwise to open it and anti-clockwise to turn it smaller or close the sprouters. You can also turn the sprouters in other angles/directions. The water will go into the basin and go down to the storage container and then reused. The twackers are the simplest part of the instrument to play. All you have to do is hit the twackers on the cup. This’ll create tinkling sounds. Each spoon also creates a different type of sound. To play the bubble straw you’ll have to blow in it to create bubbles. This will creates bubbly noises. The flush basically works like a toilet. All you do is pull the string and once you pull it it’ll make a toilet flush noise. The cup is used to put water in to refill your cup to blow bubbles and also to store water for the sprouters. It also works like a toilet bowl. This aquaoise is very simple to play. You don’t need to be a professional to play it. All you need to know is how to play the different parts, we use them everyday anyways.

 * Description **

A bagpipe minimally needs to have some air supply in which you blow a bag made of animal skin (goat, dog, cow, and sheep’s skins) though some modern bags are Gore-Tex. To play bagpipes you blow in the chanter that is located at the top. You rest the drones on your shoulders. You just simply blow in the chanter and you can also try making different pitches. There are many types of bagpipes. Some have two reeds in each chanter while some only have on reed, some may also have one drone or two drones. Some bagpipes even have one chanter or two chanters. Double reeds are usually in conical – and parallel – bored chanters, Single reed bagpipes are commonly with (but not necessarily) parallel – bored chanters. Double – reed bagpipes are usually found in Western Europe, single – reed bagpipes are found in the other places in the world. Chanters are usually played open – ended so it is hard for the player to stop playing. Most bagpipes have a legato (no stops/no rests) in music. Some chanters have closed ends on the chanter’s leg so that when the player’s fingers are covering all the holes it becomes silent – no noise is made. Double – chanters could be played by two hands or one hand, which are the Arabic bagpipes. Some double – chanter bagpipes have on chanter as a drone. In some bagpipes – a chanter is to play the melody while the other is simply a variable drone, some complex pipes separate individual notes to stopped pipes. All bagpipes must contain at least one drone. Drones are commonly a cylindrical tube. The drone has a sliding joint so the pitch of the drone can be manipulated; the sliding joint is also called a bridle. Drones usually rest on the shoulders of the player – depending on which bagpipe you are playing. Some drones are also able to tune if the drone has a tuning screw. The tuning screw will effectively alter the length of the drone by creating a hole. The hole will let the drone to be tuned in two or more different tunes.
