Klasse shot,thanks for the info what it is.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have wooden versions at school in the music room. They are basically wooden boxes, but have the same patterns cut into them. You play them in a similar was to lets say a glockenspiel.
interesting instrument; wonderful reflections
Another thing you wouldn't get me away from, up for more requests :)
What a very cool item this is! I'm amazed it hasn't been taken yet.
Love the shape, & shine.
And it makes a beautiful sculpture as well. Looked this up on the Internet and found there is quite a subculture out there complete with music videos. What a lovely sound they produce.
Great shot Andrea :)
Great shot and info! Never heard of it before, I thought it looked like a sixties chair!
Nice shot, the reflection are super !!!
Fabulous capture
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Really interesting, I wonder if the curved cuts produce different sounds. Well taken!
I can hear the sound, just looking at this! What a wonderful object! All these years of following you and Arthur around town, and this is the first time I've ever seen these instruments.
These amazing instruments are works of art in their own right along with being instruments, I bet it was exciting giving them a go.
A wonderful clear capture of the Babel Drum.
