A lithophone is a Musical Instrument consisting of a plurality of rocks or pieces of rock, in which musical notes are sounded by striking one or more of the rocks in combination (harmony) or succession (melody). NOTABLE EXAMPLES
USE BY COMPOSERS The German composer Carl Orff calls for a lithophone called ''Steinspiel'' in his later works. OTHER SIMILAR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS The lithophone is similar to the Glockenspiel , tubular glockenspiel, Metallophone , Xylophone , Marimba , and to the glass percussion instruments created by Barry Prophet of The Music Gallery, not to be confused with the Verrophone (a musical instrument that makes sound by rubbing, not by hitting, glass).
