| Donated by Gordon Peters This instrument has two octaves of
brass tubes suspended by thin string from within a wooden
frame. The tubes swing when struck, creating a vibrato
effect.  (1993-02-26) Donated by the Celeste and Emil Richards Estate. This instrument was purchased from
the Disney Studios where it was used on cartoon recordings
from 1945-1980. It is played by using flat leather
mallets or the soles of shower shoes striking the tops
of the tubes. The sound produced is a unique 'pop.' |
