Re: OT- Waterphone Question

[jim palmer <jimp@pobox.com>]

sorry for bringing up an old ot post...

i found something called an ocean harp for $250 here:

i tried looking elswhere but haven't found anything else.
anybody tried this?
how does it compare to the original waterphone?

i'm sure most of you would think it is evil to bypass the original 
inventor,
especially given his rather harsh words on the subject,
but his patent expired a decade ago,
and $1000 seems pretty steep,
so i don't really have any qualms about that...
