sound producing sand avalanches.
Dear Sir,
I have done my Post Graduation in Life Sciences,from the University of Pondicherry ,Pondicherry,India. I was fascinated by your work on Sound producing sand. I have also visited your beautiful and informative website. Could I request you to let me have a copy of one of the recordings of sand sounds? This is strictly for my personal interest. I am a dancer and I like to take original sounds found in our beautiful universe and dance for them to see what kind of movements evolve in the process. (Dance is not my career). I just do it in a non profit manner to create among children and teenagers an awareness of the beauty of our world and tell them how precious it is. If it is not a problem and if I am not asking for too much , could you let me have a copy please? I was unable to trace such recordings in the form of cassettes or CDs unlike ocean sounds- Humpback Whales and hence this mail. Thankyou very much for reading this mail. My address is : #5,Selvi Flats,I5th Avenue, Ashoknagar,Chennai-600083,Tamilnadu, India(sandupa@yahoo.com) thanking you, Yours sincerely, Sandhiya.K

Dear sandhiya kalyan
Thank you for your mail concerning sound producing sand avalanches. Musical sand itself is better than recording. I will send you a frog sand toy by air mail. It is a device which producing sand avalanches in small scale, and we can hear the sound. You can find the detail.

In USA,the frog sand toy are known as a device to explain the musical sand. If do you have any question tell me freely. I think the toy will create among children and teenagers an awareness of the beauty of our world and you can *tell them how precious it is.

Dear sir
Thankyou very much for the frog cloaking toy. I received it today. But very very unfortunately one edge of it was broken and all the water had seeped out and sand had also fallen into the cover. I felt awfully sad and i wept. From what I understand from the web page it cant be repaired.is there some way of making it fine? I dont know if it was broken for the purpose of checking. I am so sorry I was unable to listen to the sounds of the sand. I feel the sand is very pretty and if it cant be set right I will fit it with light so that the particles of sand will sparkle and it will make others happy when they look at it. THANKYOU very much for your kind gesture. I am very sorry for all the trouble i must have caused you.
yours sincerely Sandhiya

Dear sir
1. Your mail for broken frog cloaking toy is my first experience. When I send to USA by same package,all was safely. Probably, it was some accidental mistake on package mailing. I try to repeat send it. Please wait for moment.
2. As an another try to hear the soud, I recomend you a drying. Wash up the wetted sand by water repeat it . Dry the wetted sand on a clean paper. You can look prety,twinkle fine sand. The sand is dry singing sand.
3. I added news in my web site: HTTP://WWW.bigai.ne.jp/~miwa/sand/what/e_singtestpot.html please look that.

Dear Sandhiya
Once more, I send frog sand by air mail,today, which wraped up very carefuly. Some suggestions is as follows:
1. Do not leave it in high temperature or very low temperature.
2. Do not drop it on the floor.
3. The water contains little HCl acid, which same as gastric juice. Do not catch it by your eyes.

dear sir,
I had sent you two mails regarding to the toy. It is safe and the sound is really beautiful. I took it to the school where i studied and showed the children of 5 and 6 years old and they really liked the sound.So many people do not know that sand makes sound. The children then made lots of pictures of the sea and the beach. I also told them about keeping the beach and the environment clean and about planting trees.
The teacher and I then spoke to 10 year olds also showed them the toy and asked them to feel the sand from the broken toy. It brought about new feeling for the earth in some children. I will send some of their pictures soon. Thankyou for making us all happy. We also had a game for children they had to listen to some sound of nature and tellthe others about it. This was great fun! with love sandhiya __________________________________________________
