Grand Whalophone is the larger counterpart to the Classic model – an exceptional, premium-quality waterphone crafted by Polish brand Turtle Drums. With its significant size and enhanced tonal range, the Grand Whalophone produces extraordinary, hauntingly beautiful sounds that evoke a truly otherworldly atmosphere. It is an outstanding instrument for concerts, film scoring, theatrical productions, sound design, immersive performances, and storytelling experiences. Sound Production & Expressive Range. The Grand Whalophone offers extensive performance versatility. Sound may be produced by. Playing with bare hands. Striking the rods with fingers or mallets. Using a bow to significantly broaden the tonal spectrum. To achieve the signature “wah-wah” effect, simply add approximately 80 ml of water into the holding pipe. The interaction between water and vibration enriches the resonance, creating dynamic and expressive tonal variations. The Grand Whalophone features 42 rods of varying lengths, permanently mounted to a stainless steel body with high-silver-content joints. These joints enhance both structural durability and acoustic resonance. Rods: Crafted from brass, an alloy valued for its excellent sound qualities and clear, transparent timbre. Body & Saucer: Made from thick stainless steel with increased chromium content to ensure strength and resistance to bending or unwanted vibration during performance. Each rod is carefully calibrated to deliver consistent tonal response-there are no “dead” or dull rods. Every instrument is handcrafted and individually tested to meet the highest sound standards, ensuring uniqueness and professional-grade performance. Each Grand Whalophone set includes four types of mallets for diverse sound expression. Two sets of suppressed yarn mallets. You may select a handle color from our elegant standard options or request a custom color. This listing also includes the bow in the set. Base Diameter: 12 in / 30 cm. Height: 13 in / 33 cm. Our instruments are valued for their durability, craftsmanship, and long-lasting performance. I did receive my Whalophone and it is a remarkable instrument! Thank you so much for your beautiful artistry and craftsmanship. The sound is truly stunning, unlike anything I have ever heard before. Creating a palette of very different textures and sounds. It is the perfect accompaniment to my Sound Healing/Meditation practice. My clients adore the sounds as well, saying it “transports” them to other realms! – review by Michelle from NYC. If you have any questions, we will be pleased to assist you.

Thanks for stopping by. This is a B-stock DW Collector’s 8″ x 14″ Brass snare drum. Shell is Black Nickel over brass. This drum did not pass the flawless test. Therefore it’s denoted as B-stock. There are mostly minor imperfections in the Black Nickel plating and they’re virtually impossible to photograph. Save some coin on a great sounding, great looking snare drum! Utilizing a thin industry-standard 1mm shell, and plated with sleek black nickel, the Collector’s Series Black Nickel over Brass is a versatile workhorse snare. Suitable for a variety of musical applications, it offers that sought-after “classic studio brass snare sound” for Rock, Jazz, and beyond; offering brightness and cut with a decidedly metallic tonal characteristic. Dale’s Drum Shop is an authorized DW dealer. A Drummer will respond to you promptly. Check out our drum shop in Harrisburg, PA for all your DW drum and hardware needs. We always have plenty of DW Performance and Collector’s Series drum sets and snare drums in stock plus tons of DW Pedals and Hardware. Or better yet, stop in and try the gear in person!

You are looking at a real old vintage LUDWIG DRUMS snare drum. Color is white marine pearl over a chrome over brass shell. The size is 4×14. The drum has eight tube lugs. The shell is brass which most likely is chrome under the white marine pearl wrap. There is no badge. I believe the name Ludwig was factory inscribed in the metal shell. And is now covered in WMP wrap. Year is from the late 1920s or maybe the early 1930s, I believe. My guess is 1927. The rims are single flange chrome over brass rims. The magnet does not stick to them. The clips to hold the rim down also do not stick to the magnet, and are brass. Also do not stick to the magnet, and are brass. The tension rods, throw off, and butt do stick to the magnet and are steel parts. The chrome plate is clean, we left any further cleaning to you, or enjoy as is. Two point beer tap strainer works. Original butt with original rust still on it. Original tension rods and washers. This drum has an olde set of snare wires, too, I don’t know if they are original to the drum. All twelve snare wires are present, and. They are not too bent or stretched out. The issue with this drum is that under the WMP plastic wrap. Why, I have no idea. I’ve owned this drum many years, I never used it or took it apart. I only just discovered the problem with the shell. When I got it out of storage the calf head was broken, and I found the shell issue. I don’t think that it will affect the playability, but it is there. I think the parts alone may still be worth some of the price of the drum, they are all here and working. Due to the shell problem, I will call this drum a player, or a project, or for parts, and not for the fussy collector. It does have a real old Remo Ambassador brush head on top, with a lot of brush use showing. The bottom calf head is torn, and of little use, but I left it on as part of the drum’s history. Also I left it on because it was on real tight. I did not want to take it off and further damage it. The calf head is tucked on it’s original flesh hoop, which you will need to tuck new calf, if you choose. Or, you can set it up with what you want. Like most used drums, t here are nicks, chips and scuffs, and issues from a long life. The chrome is clean, but you can further detail it yourself. We never recommend steel wool, and we never use it. I don’t think this drum has ever seen steel wool. The parts don’t have those hazy blue-grey scratch lines. At least you should not use steel wool on nice drums either, like this one. We left any further cleaning to you. I got this drum pretty much as you see it in the photos. That was many years ago. Maybe you can use it?
