About
The Soundiron Waterharp is a deeply multi-sampled percussion and effects library that captures the heart and soul of the waterphone, a unique instrument developed by Richard Waters in the late 1960s. This brass vessel with a hollow water chamber and long neck is played by strumming, striking, and bowing the vertical brass tines, which resonate together to create darkly harmonic or dissonant tones and textures. The carefully-tuned tines are arranged in scales around the body, and adding water to the chamber enhances the sound. Ideal for ambient, cinematic, and experimental music, the Waterharp offers a wide range of distinctive, otherworldly sounds.
