Water Singing Bowl

These water spring bowls made of patinated brass have their origins in ancient China.
To get the bowls to sing one must fill them half-full with water and then rub the two polished handles with wet, fat-free hands. The vibration created from the friction causes the bowl to emit whale song-like sounds. The sound waves are transmitted to the water through the entire bowl where they create impressive superposing patterns.

With a little practice, you can cause the waves to overlay so heavily that water droplets break from the surface and spring a few inches upwards.
