A variety of mallets, sticks and brushes can be used to produce sound. The frame is made of galvanized plumbing pipe. It can be a bit unwieldy fully assembled. But the entire thing breacks down for easy transportation.

The Aquaggaswack
The first version of the aquaggaswack, built in 1996, only had about 18 pot lids and was narrower (it didn't have the outer sections). This second version, revamped in 1998, has 29 pot lids representing a majority of the notesin a octave, plus some quarter-tones. The center lids have mostly "bell"-like tones and the outer sets have more "gong"-like tone. All the lids were obtained from thrift stores and friends. At various times both versions of the Aquaggaswack also included a cymbal, jingle bells, a cowbell with clacker and a mine cylinder (at least that is what the tag said).
