The hydraulophone, a more recently invented instrument, uses water as the user-interface (keyboard in which each key is a water jet), and it is played by blocking the flow of water jets with the fingers of the user. Typically, the water user-interface is separated from the sounding mechanism, but in the acoustic hydraulophone, water is also used to make the sound. In the hydraulophone pipe organ, water flows into the organ pipes, and the fingers are in direct physical contact with the same water that is used to make the sound, providing the user with a high degree of musical expression.
