That sounds like it might do perfectly, how much would you want for it?
The project is a sculpture I've been working on for ages, its a full length morse code "broadcast" of War and Peace. The first version was done using an illegal FM transmitter with no publicity, but the one I'm developing at the moment will "play" Morse via the ripples in a glass of water.
When I started talking about this piece and how I might do it Gary pointed me in the direction of the Making of Jurassic Park vids on you tube. They actually got the effect with a guitar and after some research a bass guitar's neck (end on) seems to give the best ripples. The plan is that the bass and an activating mechanism will be enclosed in a plinth with the glass of water (Oak tree ref etc) directly on top.
Was going to build the internal, but a bridge, machine head and lump of hard wood will be as much a a cheap bass.
