Regarding http://www.waterphone.com/ I think Richard sold his Waterphone manufacturing to those folks; he no longer makes them. I, too, bought mine from Richard. And it seemed quite expensive to me, too. I thought about making one myself but opted for the purchase instead. Richard mentioned the difficulties in tuning(!!!!) the Waterphone as adding to the cost. Hmmmmmm. Richard has a patent on the Waterphone. When the IBM Patent Server website was up, you could look at the Waterphone patent, which supplied enough details to do-it-yourself. The IBM Patent Server website has been taken over by Delion: http://www.delphion.com/ so you might have to pay a fee to see the Waterphone patents on-line from them. Personally, I'm really glad I bought my Waterphone, even though it seemed expensive at the time. It arrived in the mail the day that my sweetie (and now my wife) and I were going camping in a National Forest. I took it along and played it by the campfire in the evening. Everybody henceforth avoided us. :D Chris, what do you use for a case? Dennis Leas ------------------- dennis@mail.worldserver.com
