Members Sleeping_One Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 My friends told me of an instrument they saw in an L.A. vintage instrument store. They described it like it was a set of bells but you pushed keys like a piano and there were tubes (like an organ?) that came out the back where the sound came out. Does this sound like anything anyone has heard of? What might it be called? I ask because my band uses a small bell kit, and we were interested in something similar, but that you perhaps wouldn't need mallets to hit but had keys like a piano instead. Not like a Rhodes (we use one already) but something that still sounded like a bell kit. Does such a thing exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sleeping_One Posted February 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wow. That would be it. What an amazing instrument! Thanks mate! I suppose these are insanely hard to come by these days. Does anyone know where you could find one or if there is anything similar to this?
