Water Ooga Boogan Bowed String Timpani - three strings arranged in a triangular fashion (in top down view there are two strings in the back aligned with eachother and one string in the front which is between the two but offput instead of evenly aligned). - the bow slides between the front string and two back strings. - the front string acts as a drone note usually used for enrichening or changing the tone of one of the strings. - tuned from left string to middle string to right string as: B(b)2, D2, G2 (most common) or G2, D2, B(b)2 (least common) - the instrument is free standing and supported by a wooden or stone slab beneath the resonating body. - the player must stand in order to play the instrument. - the strings are about 4-5ft in length and very thick (still thinking of material) - there are hand peddles on the side used in order to "grip" or "clash" onto the string with a wooden piece in order to produce a note one octave higher than the original tuning (notes the pedal is pulled down > ~F(b)3, ~A3, ~C3) - there are foot peddles that adjust the tightness of the strings in order to play the next note or play a note of the original tuning sharper, (pedal halfway down would produce > B2, D#2, G#2)(pedal all the way down would produce > C2, E2, A2)
