UAKTI, a really good brasilian band known for creating their own
instruments and having done things with Phil Glass created a nice and
simple water instrument:
A tank on top of a doubble tube (telescope like). The water from the
tank drops (single drops or current) into the inner tube where the
resonance of the tube is activated. I dont quite remember where the
water goes from there, or how they avoid the tube to fill up. The
outer tube can be moved to change pitch. What you hear is pitched
water sound.
