What William Needs Upon Arrival (When Flying)

To play the armonica:	500mL mineral/mineralized/spring water per performance* 110v power (drawing about 2 amps = 200 watts for motor & lights)
To play the musical glasses:	500mL mineral/mineralized/spring water per performance* 2 liters (1/2 gallon) of any-old-water (including tap-water or distilled water) per performance

*NOTE: Distilled water (definitely bad!) or tap water (who knows!) cannot be substituted! Must be mineral/mineralized/spring water, such as Arrowhead, Evian, etc. The weight of flying with water is generally cost-ridiculous. Please advise if mineral/mineralized/spring water like Arrowhead, Evian is unavailable so we can plan accordingly.
