length and consisted of 1,000 chimes. They varied in lengths from 5.1 cm [2
in] to 105 cm [41 in], and were attached to 20 wooden bars fixed to 20
cymbal stands".

This instrument finds many applications and is very suitable for different
artistic purposes, ranging from contemporary dance performances to movie
