[@TheScreamingFrog916]

This is really cool. Sounds and looks beautiful. Wish I knew more about how it was constructed, by who.

[@TheAyoubBrothersOfficial]

That was heavenly. Thank you for the upload.

[@GrumpyL5]

Wonderful to hear and see.

Hydraulis was invented by the great ancient Greek mathematician, engineer and inventor Ctesebious, in the 3d century B.C. He was best known mainly for his following achievements: A. Plumbing. the Cylinder Piston the curved siphon . the Pressure Pump . The first press machine to have two pistons capable of delivering 105 litres/minute. the Depression-suction pump , manual still used by firefighters today, resembles a see-saw. the Hydraulic Clock and the Hydraulic Musical Instrument ( Hydraulos ), the first keyboard and polyphonic instrument in history which is also the first harmonium . B. Military. Remote weapons . Steam engines that operated with compressed air. Hoist . A heavy lifting machine that operated with water pressure. Hydraulic catapults . Catapults whose belts or ropes were stretched hydraulically. Hourglass . Astronomical hydraulic instrument - chronometer. The Hourglass of Ctesibius was also called hydraulis , in contrast to the hydraulus , which was called the musical instrument.

This man understood water can’t be compressed and that steam is a gas that can be compressed , pretty impressive

Hydrauluses (Hydrauli?) were known to have been used by the Romans, even if it was a Greek invention.

[@ABAlphaBeta]

Hydrauloi, as per prescriptivist thinking.

Hydraules

[@Voidi-Void]

the romans borrowed almost as much culture from the greeks as the us and britain has stolen or destroyed combined.

[@gioiadelsapere]

Hydrauli is right.

[@czepanskicalendar6633]

wonderful, please come to brazil :))

[@earthlightsmusic2743]

The water part isn't big enough to really smooth out the pulses of the bellows properly, so I don't get a proof of concept from this setup. Maybe the pipes need to be voiced to speak on less airflow?

[@見た目ほど気は弱くない]

パンフルートみたいな、不思議な音ですね

[@Stelios.Posantzis]

Great sound! I can't believe how nice this sounds given it's made of copper tubes! Are there plans available somewhere?

[@fnersch3367]

Francis Galpin built a hydraulis in 1900 based on one found on a Roman site in Hungary dating from the 4th C.

[@Stelios.Posantzis]

@@fnersch3367 Thanks for this bit of information! I just realized the vibrato is due to the hand pumps! Great! :D

[@morrocks1549]

Increíble! !!

[@rob28803]

What mode and scale does it play in?

[@ronleunissen]

Hard work!!!

[@inkyguy]

When and where was this performance and the video made?

[@archeosportclubdeportivo9996]

¡Precioso!

The man in the back looks like Jesus.

[@the_real_hislordship]

What did Jesus look like?

[@MrCrabfat]

Pierre van Wyk Jesus looked like the man in back.

[@ClarenceDoskocil]

Would have been the best trolling if that guy wore robes.

It was a greek ancient musical instrument... Not a roman...

[@jagump9728]

greeks invented it but the romans made their own as well...

[@carlosandino821]

It is considered as a Roman musical instrument due to the fact that it is the reconstruction of an example found in the ruins of a Roman therma in the city of Aquincun, now in Hungary, because I did not comment on the copy of the city of Dion in Greece. The dating of the organ of Aquincun suggests to be of 228 a.C, and the organ of Dion is dated of around the second century. Therefore both dated from the Roman period.

[@demetrioskosmas9695]

@Ustym Petrovych Ctesibius was an Alexandrian Greek.

[@furiotogio]

@@carlosandino821 actually 228 CE or AD

[@rob28803]

Nope, these have been found at Pompeii, definitely Roman, wether the Greeks invented them or not.

[@LAUS-DEO-HAWAII]

WHY DIDNT YOU JUST BUILD IT THE WAY THEY BUILT IT? TOO MANY MODERN PARTS.

[@Voidi-Void]

inefficient and pricey i'm guessing.
