ABSTRACT:
A plurality of rectangular parallelopiped tone bars are incorporated in a percussion instrument, are connected to a supporting bar at central points thereof so as to produce the second-order vertical flexural vibration and the first-order torsional vibration, and the ratio of width to thickness is regulated to a frequency ratio of 1:2 so as to improve the interval between the percussion sounds and the consonance.
