ABSTRACT:
A musical instrument of substantially conical shape that has a rim and spokes, the rim being substantially circular. The spokes number at least three and are of equal length, emanating from a second rim. The second rim is not in the same plane that is defined by the rim but shares the same axis with the first rim. The instrument can be played by striking it with a stick or another instrument. The sound the instrument gives can be changed by varying the diameter of the rim or the number of spokes, the orientation of the instrument, the material of which the instrument is made, or by loosely attaching a cymbal to the interior of the cone defined by the instrument's configuration.
