ABSTRACT:
A musical device which comprises a base member on which a plurality of musical tone bars are mounted. A hammer is resiliently mounted in striking relationship with each of the respective tone bars, and an actuator is moveably mounted opposite the respective hammer. The actuator and associated hammers include complementary magnetic material so that an alternating magnetic field resulting from the movement of the actuator relative to the hammer causes movement of the associated hammer to strike the respective tone bars accordingly. In doing so, an extremely pleasing and unusual musical tone is produced.
