A type of percussion instrument. Tubes made of a special alloy, 2 mm thick and 38 mm in diameter, are cut to lengths between 160 cm and 94 cm and tuned. To allow for free vibration, holes are drilled in the top, a string is passed through, and the tubes are hung chromatically in a metal frame. They are sounded by striking the stoppered upper shoulders with a leather mallet. A vibration stopper is fitted to the centre of the frame to prevent the struck tubes from hitting each other, and a damper that is movable by a pedal is attached below that. They ring like a church bell. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
打楽器の一種。厚さ2mm,直径38mmの特殊合金のチューブ(管)を長さ160cmから94cmに切って調律したもの。自由な振動を得るために上部に孔をあけ紐を通し金属製の枠に半音階的に並べ釣り下げてある。栓がしてあるチューブの上部の肩の部分を革製の槌で打って鳴らす。打たれたチューブが相互にぶつからないように枠の中央にゆれ止めがはめられ,その下にはペダルによって可動するダンパーが取り付けてある。教会の鐘の音のように響く。
