Waterphone is an intriguing and unusual musical instrument that creates a unique range of tones and textures, commonly used to add dramatic sounds to horror and suspense videos and films.

Thanks to its unique sound, a waterphone can be used to create a range of dramatic sound effects.

Waterphone is a great choice for creating suspense and tension in a scene, or to add a mysterious or eerie atmosphere.

You also can use it to create eerie or suspenseful soundscapes, or to create a sense of tension throughout a production.

What is a Waterphone?

A waterphone is a round metal bowl with vertical metal rods that protrude from it. The rods are vibrated to create sound, either by using a bow or by simply running your finger along them. The sound produced is often described as haunting, and can create a sense of mystery or suspense in a production.

The sound of a waterphone can be adjusted depending on how much water is inside the bowl. By adding more or less water, the sound changes, allowing for unique effects. You can also create different types of sounds by bowing the rods, striking them with a mallet, or vibrating them with your hands.
