Chinese translation "Shuiqin" is an instrument for film soundtrack, and it is an instrument that makes a creepy metallic sound in most horror films.
It consists of a stainless steel resonator "bowl" and a handle "neck". The outer edge of the bowl is equipped with a small amount of water and dozens of brass rulers with different lengths. It was invented by an American. It is said that inspired by Tibetan water drums, he applied for a patent. At present, this musical instrument is produced in limited quantities, and all water phones are arranged by the inventor alone, ensuring the uniqueness of each water phone.
Shuiqin is a unique atonal instrument, which mainly includes a stainless steel resonator "bowl" and a cylindrical "neck", containing a small amount of water and dozens of brass rulers of different lengths. The sound it makes is illusory, mostly metallic, and it can make all kinds of creepy sounds according to the player's playing skills and severity.
Musical instrument lovers call Waterphone "the horror water harp", which is said to be the source of those terrible metallic sounds in horror movies. However, now the soundtrack of movies will also be synthesized by computer, and the background music of horror movies is not all made by "Water Qin of Terror". It is said that the Waterphone looks simple, but because it is a patented product, there is no mass production, and the cheapest Waterphone costs $65,438+0,000, and the accessories have to be counted separately. It seems that this artifact is expensive. If you want to buy scary children's shoes, you can give up the idea.
