ABSTRACT:
A suspended idiophone is described in which a plate of sonorous material is formed along an axis in a manner by which the plate will be capable of expanding and contracting resiliently to produce an acoustical vibrato. The musical sound produced by the present idiophone will resemble that produced by a standard cymbal or gong with the addition of vibrato afforded through the particular configuration due to resiliency of material along an axis. When sounded, the resilient material will oscillate axially to produce the vibrato effect.
