Eclectic reading on Ben Franklin. But, I do love to listen to this instrument! The only thing close I ever heard directly was some pipe chimes that I rebuilt and tied into a church organ with a capacitive (mylar) pickups.
But the tones of this instrument are always perfect, and a good player can hold a note, perfectly pitched for a solid minute, while they bring in other notes to build a cord! It is like the breath of an Angel....
A really good player can get you to hold your breath, so you don't miss any single notes.
